ErgoStand III – Looking Closer
Inside the box you will find a pamphlet containing visual instructions on how to utilize all the available functions, another pamphlet explaining warranty information, and a USB cable for powering the Ergostand III.
We were pleased to see a manual fan control on the Ergostand III, with Skynet gaining power daily we welcome all user control. We jumped at the chance to rev up our RPM’s at other laptop stands but regardless of speed selected the Ergostand III is a silent ninja, if not for the L.E.D indicator and a cool breeze on our wrists we would not be able to tell the fan is operating.
Here is a shot of the 230mm fan with the cover off allowing for easy cleaning. Inside and out the Ergostand III is well made. The high air pressure Loop Dynamic Bearing ensures prolonged fan lifespan
On the topside of the Ergostand III we get a USB hub ready to power all of your desired add-on peripherals.
For cable management we get high density rubber that feels, like all other features on the ErgoStand III, that it will stand the test of time. Cables stay right were they are placed.
Here we see the support pegs set to accommodate your favorite laptop. They feel tough and have the same dense rubber as the cable management area so your hardware doesn’t slide around. We also love the aesthetic of the diamond mesh fan cover.
Around the back side we see the 6 ergonomic height settings, nice and simple. The base is lined with non-slip rubber as well which keeps it right where it’s placed on your surface of choice.
Final Conclusion
Plain and simple CoolerMaster hit all the marks. Every component on the ErgoStand III feels solid. We were surprised how much something simple like a laptop stand, executed properly, could improve the usage and feel of our station. We tried to find a reason not to love the ErgoStand III but it’s all there, function, style, features, value, craftsmanship. We at Bjorn3D always encourage readers to shop around, check the market 
 and see what may work perfectly for their specific style of use. It would be absurd to flat out say “If you are looking for a laptop stand than buy this hands down no questions..” considering all the variables each consumer will factor in to what makes a good product. Thing is, at 34.99 (with 10$ rebate) from and considering the quality and features of the ErgoStand III it is hard for us to not recommend it hands down.
