Purchasing a fancy laptop stand that elevates your notebook for easier typing and better airflow can be expensive, so DIYer Chris99 built one himself using a metallic document holder, some shelf liner, and a block of rubber. Using a hot glue gun and utility blade, he padded the metal surface and positioned the blocks to hold his MacBook in place. We've featured a whole lot of DIY laptop stands here over the years, but this looks like one of the better put together of the bunch.
