P2 Stand for iPad and Tablet PCBy: Elago

elago P2 Stand (Silver) for iPad & Tablet PC

With the current iPad and Tablet PC craze many different style stands for these computers have developed. Stands for tablet PC’s are aimed at making it easier for you to use your computer like a laptop or desktop when you have a flat surface to put them on. The P2 stand takes a straight forward approach to this in both design and function.

The P2 is made of one piece of aluminum bent into the form of a stand. It can hold your computer either vertically or horizontally. The stand was made with the idea that iPads and other computers would be in cases so they designed the stand so it is wide enough to accommodate your computer without you having to take off the case. It has two holes cut in the back to allow for the charging cord for the iPad and an audio wire. Another great feature is its large base so the stand is stable, even while you use the touch screen.

The major problems I noticed were that the stand doesn’t have much padding and you can’t adjust the angle. It has two rubber pads which offer some protection to your computer, but it could still get scratched if you’re not careful. It would be a good idea to take advantage of the stands ability to accommodate most computers with their case on because of this. The problem with not being able to adjust the angle was mixed good and bad. Since it can’t change at all, you won’t have any accidental movements which could topple your computer, but also since it can’t move you don’t have the comfort or option to change positions.

The P2 did surprise me. I liked its simplicity and functionality. It is definitely a good thing to have if you have a Tablet PC or iPad especially if you use a separate keyboard and mouse when you’re working at your desk. It will make using your computer a lot easier.
