Logitech has expanded its line of notebook stands with the new Alto Connect and Alto Express, joining the original Logitech Alto stand introduced last year.

In addition the Alto Connect stand offers a cable-management system and a cavern for storing the USB cable when not in use.

The Alto Express notebook stand offers a hard-plastic, translucent surface and a smooth, swoop shape. The lightweight, one-piece Alto Express stand requires minimal setup. People simply place their laptop on the stand, add a keyboard and mouse, and begin working. Plus, two stabilizing rubber-tipped feet at the front of the stand prevent the laptop from sliding while the rubber feet at the back of the stand incorporate easy-glide polycarbonate material to make it easy to move the stand around once the laptop is on the stand. The stand’s arch-like design accommodates storage of a keyboard and mouse under the stand when not in use. The Alto Express is compatible with 15.4 to 17 inch notebook PCs and MacBook computers.
