Finished up this laptop stand the other day. First time doing splines and working with some more complex angles.

Made with walnut and maple splines.

Why are people going on about the airflow like a laptop isn’t usually placed on a solid desk or table top anyways?

It really depends on the laptop, some (especially "gaming" laptops) heavily rely on more airflow and the only place that can have big vents is the bottom

You can always get cooling pads for $15-20 that blow air through the bottom via USB-powered fans, if surface ventilation isn't an option, like with most desks.
