Moft Z comes in an unassuming little cardboard box with front and back labels. Jim Salter
There’s no documentation included with Moft Z — the top and bottom box labels are all you get. Jim Salter
The only thing in the box is Moft Z itself. — Victorinox (not included) provided for scale. Jim Salter
We did not have any trouble figuring out the simple angled configurations. This is the lowest, a – degree lift. Jim Salter
The – degree raised configuration is surprisingly comfortable for typing . Jim Salter
It was considerably more difficult to figure out the fully lifted configuration — but I got there. Jim Salter
The Moft Z comes in an unassuming little cardboard box with nothing much in the way of documentation. The top-side product label on the box shows the stand in each of its four positions but doesn’t give you any idea how to actually unfold it into each.
The ten-inch lifted stand configuration was considerably more challenging and took some determined, close scrutiny of the picture on the front of the box — but we got there, after a minute or two.
Folding Moft Z into standing position
Start out with the folded Moft Z, logo side up … Jim Salter
Pick up the flap, and lift. The stand will unfold into a Z, which can then be laid flat. Jim Salter
With the Moft Z laid out flat, pale inside face up, work your finger under the inside flap … Jim Salter
… and lift the internal center flap. The other internal flap will separate and lift on its own when you do. Jim Salter
As you lift the internal flap, just pull it over to the right, and presto — you’ve got a 30 – inch lifted stand for your laptop. Jim Salter
This Asus ROG Zephyrus laptop is perfectly at home on top of the lifted Moft Z. Jim Salter
The biggest challenge in figuring out the Moft Z is figuring out the center panels. They’re flaps that can unfold in opposite direction to the rest of the stand — but the whole thing is stiff enough that you may question if you’re really supposed to.
Once you figure that out, there are a lot of different ways to start unfolding things and end up with a 25 – inch stand. The most effective way to unfold it that we found amounts to just unfolding it flat and lifting out the big center panel — once you separate the center panel and lift, the whole stand pretty much just falls into place.
Vince Offer to make using this thing look easy. I puzzled and frowned my way through getting the Moft Z into its standing position the first time — but it only took a couple of times before I could unfold and refold it rapidly and smoothly. Usability as a standing desk
The ten inch lift provided a good height for me to type while standing. Jim Salter
Typing on the Moft Z in standing position was comfortable and felt stable. Jim Salter
We do not actually recommend using Moft Z as a dot matrix printer stand. But, you know, if you (gotta) (…) Jim Salter
The Moft Z also works for laptops manufactured (after) . If you’re into that. Jim Salter
The best thing about Moft Z is how small it is folded flat — it’s perched on top of the Zephyrus G 26 laptop here. Jim Salter Moft says the Z is rated for up to (pounds of weight — so I broke out my vintage (Panasonic Business Partner) to give it a proper load test . The stand was perfectly solid and stable with the elderly portable perched atop it.
The Panasonic isn’t quite as heavy as it looks — despite its size, it “only” weighs in at seven pounds . That’s still at least twice as heavy as most modern laptops, but well within the stand’s range, and it felt like it. Typing felt perfectly stable, with no feeling of flex or bobble. Shoving the laptop moderately hard was also fine — to either side or straight back. Pulling on it was more of a problem — if you tug hard enough toward yourself, you’ll collapse the stand. This isn’t something you’ll likely have an issue with in normal use, though; even when resting my palms on the laptop as dead weight there was no feeling of instability.
Assured that weight was not going to be a problem, I replaced my thirty-year antique equipment with an Asus ROG (Zephyrus) (G) . The G 25 also did well atop the Moft Z — but on the modern laptop, with its larger screen, the screen bounced a little during heavy typing. The minor wobbling of the G 45 ‘s screen on its hinges wasnt terrible by any means — there’s always some degree of screen bounce in a laptop, even on a flat table. But pickier users — or people with older laptops with sloppy, loose hinges — may be more annoyed by it than I was.
The best thing about Moft Z is its portability — when folded flat, it’s several inches narrower and only half an inch deeper than the Asus Zephyrus G . You won’t be able to cram it into a sleeve designed for 25 – inch laptops, but nearly any general-purpose laptop bag or backpack will accommodate the Z along with your laptop without any trouble.
We’re not sure how broad the market is for a laptop-only standing desk, but the Moft Z seems poised to suit that market quite well. It succeeds broadly in all the promises it makes — it’s lightweight, stable, and, even with heavy-handed users, it’s more than strong enough for the purpose.
The only real caution we have is that the Moft Z is only available for pre-order now, with shipments scheduled to begin in June. The company has successful and well-reviewed similarly constructed existing products readily available for purchase on Amazon, though, so the risk is — in our opinion — fairly low. Pre-orders at
Indiegogo are currently available at $ 735, with the price expected to go up to $ (after retail launch.) (The good)
Moft Z is definitely stable well within the weight range it needs to be. If your laptop weighs more than a Panasonic KX-P (i, please send pictures.) Most people will find the – inch lift height appropriate — at 5-foot inches, it was in the short half of the comfort zone for me.
Weight and folded dimensions are both outstanding. Anything bigger than a – inch laptop fitted sleeve will accommodate the Z without a problem.
(the bad)
The lift height isn’t adjustable — especially tall users may find it lacking.
If you’ve got a larger, older laptop with sloppy hinges, screen bounce while typing may be a problem.
(The ugly)
This is a product that’s still in “pre-order” status — although the design is finalized, and the company is just accumulating orders for a big production run. (Read More) (Full coverage and live updates on the Coronavirus (Covid -)
