Tall aluminum and steel riser — lifts 10 to 17 inch laptops up to 20 inches.
Buy if you need lift most stands cannot give — up to 20 in for a 10 to 17 inch laptop, bringing the screen toward standing eye level without a separate monitor — and you already use an external keyboard and mouse.
Skip if you only need a few inches of lift at a seated desk (its size and slower knob adjustment are more than the job requires), you plan to type on the laptop itself at full height (owners note more wobble there), or you need a stand that folds completely flat.
Check Price on Amazon →Lifelong Upryze Ergonomic Laptop Stand review: a tall aluminum and steel riser that lifts laptops from 10 to 17 inches up to 20 inches for standing desk setups. That range is the whole reason to buy it: most stands stop at seated-desk height, while the Upryze can bring a laptop screen toward standing eye level when it is paired with an external keyboard and mouse. If you only need a few inches of lift at a regular desk, its size and slower knob adjustment are more than the job requires.

The height range is the standout, and it is not close. Owner feedback and roundups consistently single out the up-to-20-inch lift: it can raise a laptop screen toward standing eye level without a separate monitor, something typical stands that stop around 6 to 8 inches cannot do.
Owners describe the aluminum and steel frame as sturdy, with laptops held securely once the adjustment knob is tightened. Verified owner reviews at Target call it sturdy and highly adjustable, easy to move between heights, and still like new after two months of use.
The open platform design leaves the laptop's underside exposed to airflow instead of trapping it against a solid shelf.
Height this tall comes with a trade-off owners and roundups both note: at or near maximum extension the stand can wobble more if you type on the laptop itself, so an external keyboard and mouse are practically mandatory at standing height.
Height changes mean loosening a knob and repositioning the stand — slower than a slider stand, and repositioning with the laptop in place takes some effort; that stiffness is part of how it holds its set height.
The partial-fold design means it does not go completely flat, so it needs storage space, and the functional grey finish is a tool look rather than a desk ornament.
Owner feedback centers on the standing use case: with the laptop raised toward standing height and a separate keyboard and mouse on the desk, the Upryze lets the laptop screen stand in for a monitor. Roundups that rank it for extra height make the same pairing point — at full reach, typing on the raised laptop itself amplifies movement, while a separate keyboard keeps the setup steady.
Adjustment is deliberate rather than instant: loosening the knob, repositioning, and re-tightening is slower than the Rain Design iLevel 2's front slider, but the range it covers is substantially greater.
Remote workers who want to use their laptop at standing height without buying a separate monitor, and taller users whose seated eye level sits above what a standard riser reaches. It also suits shared or hot-desking setups where the stand gets reset to different users' heights. It assumes you already have an external keyboard and mouse — at tall settings they are not optional.

The Lifelong Upryze is the tall stand in this catalog: up to 20 inches of lift for 10 to 17 inch laptops, an aluminum and steel frame owners describe as sturdy, and honest limits — knob adjustment that takes effort and more movement at full height if you type on the laptop itself. Buy it when you genuinely need standing height; for a seated desk, a smaller stand does the job with less fuss.
