If you're using college textbooks, it will be the most expensive monitor stand you can buy.
Personally sporting "Guiness Book of Records 1992", "Machine Elements in Mechanical Design", "Engineering Drawing and Design", and "Machines and Mechanisms".
I have a large copy of Lord of the Rings supporting my main monitor right now.
Yeah, you just need something to cover up the ugliness, yours being a laptop.
Depending on the books you use it can actually look really cool.
I needed to raise one of my monitors a bit and shoved some old 8GB hard drives under it.
CAn someone explain exactly how?
Careful on your wrists! You need to tilt that laptop keyboard (or buy a separate keyboard for home I suppose)
