Will it fit my laptop?

Stelo fits most laptops between 10 and 17 inches — including all current MacBook models, most ThinkPads, Surface Laptops, XPS, ZenBooks, and Chromebooks. If your laptop has an unusually curved front edge or floor vents in the lower-front corners, message us before ordering and we'll help you check. If the fit isn't right, the 30-day guarantee has you covered.

Will it wobble when I type?

No. The aluminum frame and non-slip contact points hold your laptop steady at every height setting. Typing directly on the built-in keyboard stays comfortable — it feels like typing on a solid surface, not a folding chair.

Will it block my vents or overheat my laptop?

No. The open frame under Stelo leaves clearance for your laptop's vents and fans. Your device gets the airflow it's designed for, even on long sessions.

Will it scratch my laptop?

No. Non-slip cushioned contact points sit between the aluminum frame and your device, so there's no bare metal touching your laptop and no sliding around when you use the trackpad.

Is it actually portable, or just called portable?

It folds flat and slides into the included pouch. Slim enough to sit next to your laptop in most backpacks, work bags, and carry-ons. No rattling, no bulk, no 'I'll take it next time' excuse.

How long does shipping take?

US delivery usually takes 8–15 business days with tracking included. You'll get an email with your tracking number as soon as your order ships.

What if I don't like it?

You have 30 days from delivery to try Stelo and decide. If it's not right for your setup, contact us at support@stelodesk.com and we'll process a refund.

Is it hard to set up?

No. Unfold, choose a height, place your laptop on top. No tools, no assembly, no manual.

Is a laptop included?

No — the order includes the Stelo stand and the travel pouch only.

Your workspace, folded into your bag.

A foldable aluminum stand that raises your laptop, clears your desk, and
turns almost any table into a setup that actually feels like yours.
Fits 10"–17" laptops · Folds flat · Travel pouch included

Will it fit your laptop?

Stelo is built for most laptops between 10 inches and 17 inches, including:

MacBook Air and MacBook Pro (all sizes)
Dell XPS, Latitude, and Inspiron
Lenovo ThinkPad, IdeaPad, and Yoga
HP Spectre, Envy, and Pavilion
Microsoft Surface Laptop
ASUS ZenBook and ROG series
Most 10"–17" Chromebooks

If your laptop has an unusually curved front lip or floor vents in the lower front corners, check the fit guide below before ordering. Every stand ships with a 30-day return window if the fit isn't right.

The problem isn't your laptop. It's where you have to use
it.

Kitchen tables. Hotel desks. Café counters. Coworking hot desks. The
corner of the couch when the dog takes the chair.
Wherever you open your laptop, you rebuild your workspace from
whatever's around. A stack of books. A shoebox. A folded hoodie.
Something to lift the screen a little. Something to make it feel less
makeshift.
By 3pm your neck is stiff. Your desk is cluttered. Your setup looks like it
was assembled in a hurry — because it was.

A cleaner setup, in any room.

Stelo folds down to something you barely notice in your bag. Unfold it, set your laptop on top, and you have a workspace that looks intentional — the kind of setup you'd build for yourself if you had the desk space and never had to move.

Higher screen. More desk. Less clutter. Same laptop.

Stelo Has Real Portability
Folds flat. Fits in the pouch. Comes with you.

Stelo folds down to something slim enough to slide next to your laptop in
a backpack, a work tote, or a carry-on. The included pouch keeps it
protected between uses and quiet in your bag — no rattling around next
to your keys.
• Slips into most laptop compartments
• Zero setup time — unfold, place, work
• Made for daily carry, not drawer clutter

Find the height that fits the room.

Multiple height settings let you match the stand to the chair, the desk, and the table you're actually sitting at — not the one an ergonomics diagram assumes you're at.

Lower settings

For tables and chairs at standard height.

Middle settings

For taller counters or when you want more screen lift.

Higher settings

For external keyboard and mouse setups where you want the screen closer to eye level.

Steady where it counts.

Stelo's aluminum frame holds your laptop firmly at every height setting, so typing directly on the built-in keyboard stays comfortable and the screen stays where you put it.

Non-slip contact points cushion the spots where the stand meets your laptop — no bare aluminum on your device, no marks on your finish, no sliding when you tap the trackpad.

Non-slip pads at every contact point
Balanced base to reduce wobble during typing
Open frame so nothing presses against your vents or the underside of your laptop

Room for your laptop to breathe.

The open frame under Stelo leaves plenty of clearance for your laptop's vents and fans, so your device gets the airflow it's designed for — even on long work sessions.

Do you need a separate keyboard and mouse?

Short answer: no — but it depends on the setting.

At lower height settings, you can type directly on your laptop keyboard the way you already do. Comfortable, portable, no extra gear.

At higher settings — the ones that raise the screen closer to eye level — a separate keyboard and mouse become more comfortable, because your hands stay at desk height while the screen sits up top. That's the classic "monitor setup" configuration.

Both are valid. You get to choose depending on where you're working. Stelo doesn't force the decision.

What comes with your order

One Stelo aluminum laptop stand
One protective travel pouch

Built for people who don't work in one place.

SteloDesk makes one category of thing: workspace gear that packs down and travels with you. We built Stelo because every "portable" laptop stand we'd owned was either too flimsy to trust or too bulky to actually carry.

Every order ships with tracked delivery and a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Stelo isn't right for your setup, our support team handles the return — no scripts, no runaround.

Contact: support@stelodesk.com · We reply within 24 hours.

Shipping and returns

Free tracked shipping on every order.

US delivery usually takes 8–15 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships, and you can check the status any time.

30-day money-back guarantee.

Try Stelo on your desk, at your café, in your bag. If it isn't the right fit for your setup within 30 days of delivery, contact us and we'll make it right.

Longer than Amazon? Yes. That's the honest tradeoff for buying from a small workspace brand instead of a mega-retailer. In exchange, you get direct support from the people who actually made the product.
