Anyone know of a good laptop stand?

My fist two weeks with the laptop have been a real joy.  Normally I spend days setting up a new system but I was able to transfer everything including installed programs from my Imac over to my MacBook Pro.  I REALLY like how apple does this and I wish that every system let you move installed applications so easily. I bet it saved me 45+ hours of work, this is why I am now Steve Jobs fanboy.  

When at my house I connect my laptop to my apple display and use a bluetooth key board and mouse.  I love the setup but recently some called to attention one ‘problem’ with it.  I wanted to have the laptop the same height as the screen so when I looked around my den I grabbed the fist thing I had that was the desired height.

I have not used my copy of Office XP Developer in some time due to the fact I purchased Office 2008 for the mac.  I love it when I am able to reuse something however it is a bit of an eye sore compared to the rest of the setup.   Does anyone know of a good laptop stand that is frugal?  I just spend all my play money on a new laptop to I have to be price conscious.  If you do know of one drop me a e-mail or leave a comment on the blog please.

    Open your grill. Place knobs on full. Push the igniter button. Close lid. Wait 10 minutes. Open lid. Place laptop in grill. Close lid.

    Perfect laptop stand for your new mac!

    I have the iCurve which I use and like. It gets the laptop off the ground so spillage is really not an issue and allows room for me to put things under it. I also zip tie my “docking” cables to the stand so they’re always there ready to be plugged in.

    I sort of agree with Jorge. Except, I think Jorge needs to be more directly involved in the solution. He is too modest and omitted that he’s required to be inside the lid of the grill before putting the laptop on top of the lid. Adds key stability so the laptop will not fall off and have accidental death.

    Don’t be so modest Jorge!
