1. OMOTON portable stand for MacBook Air M2
The OMOTON portable stand for MacBook Air M2 is one of our favorite laptop stands on the market. Not only it’s affordable, but it’s also portable and adjustable. The laptop stand is perfect for people who don’t use an external monitor but want to adjust the height of their MacBook Air M2 to avoid strain on their necks.
The OMOTON stand gives you six different angles for adjusting the height of your MacBook Air M2. For us, the first and second levels work best for regular desks. It brings the screen almost to eye level without causing any issues in typing. In fact, the typing experience becomes even better at the first height-adjust level, thanks to the gentle slope.
Since the stand is portable, you can take it anywhere and get the best experience.
2. Soundance aluminum laptop stand
If you use an external monitor and want your MacBook Air M2 to work as a secondary display, you should get the Soundance aluminum laptop stand for MacBook Air M2. The Soundance stand is made of thickened aluminum alloy, is sturdy, and offers no wobble. It features rubber on the holder hands that stick tightly to ensure your MacBook Air M2 stability. There are also rubber feet that prevent the stand from slipping on your desk.
The stand raised the laptop height to about 6 feet above the desk, matching your eye level to give you a stress-free viewing angle. We also love that the stands give you cable management holes, so your setup looks clean and beautiful. The stand is available in several colors, including silver, black, gold, blue, aquamarine, and more.
3. LENTION vertical desktop stand for MacBook Air M2
If you like to keep your MacBook Air M2 closed when working with an external monitor, you should get this LENTION vertical desktop stand. The stand features an aluminum alloy triangle base design that ensures sturdiness while holding your device. We love that the stand takes minimal space on your desk, making it perfect for users who work in a space-constrained environment.
The groove holding the MacBook Air M2 is covered with a premium rubber mat that holds the laptop in place and prevents scratches and scuffs. The stand’s holder width can be adjusted, so even if you have multiple laptops with different widths, it will work with most of them.
As far as vertical stands go, it’s one of the best you can buy. The LENTION vertical stand is available in silver and space gray models.
4. Boyata multi-angle desk stand
If you want a height-adjustable stand for your MacBook Air M2, check out the Boyata multi-angle desk stand. Made of aluminum, this laptop stand allows you to adjust the height and incline, so you can get the best possible viewing angle. The stand is also durable and will last for a long time.
The desktop stand features a hole in the middle, which allows for easy air ventilation while the aluminum acts as a big passive radiator, cooling down your MacBook Air M2. The laptop stand is so good that over 13,000 Amazon customers have given almost perfect rating, making it one of the most highly-rated laptop stands on Amazon.
One reason why buyers love this stand so much is because it’s light, so you can carry it in your bag. Also, it can also double as a drawing pad for your iPad Pro. Available in black, space gray, pink, gold, and silver colors, this is one of the best MacBook Air M2 stands you can buy.
5. ORICO desk stand with 4 Port USB 3.0 hub
If you want a multi-functional stand for your MacBook Air M2, we recommend the ORICO adjustable desk stand. Like the Boyota stand, the ORICO desk stand lets you adjust both its height and tilt angle, allowing you to get the best viewing angle. The stand is made of high-quality aluminum, which can absorb and discharge heat easily. The upper hollow design ensures proper cooling with fast heat dissipation.
What separates it from the Boyota stand is its built-in USB 3.0 hub that gives you access to four USB-A ports. While the world is moving towards USB-C, we still have thumb drives that connect via USB-A. If you are planning to use a MacBook Air M2 accessory like a wireless mouse, you again need the USB-A port to connect the receiver. The built-in USB hub will let you connect all these accessories with ease. We only wish that it also had a USB-C to ethernet adapter.
The USB-C port that connects to your laptop can also provide pass-through power to the MacBook Air, keeping the other USB-C port open. It’s a great stand, and it has a built-in USB-C hub.

6. Twelve South ParcSlope and Curve MacBook Air M2 stands
Twelve South makes premium desk stands for Apple laptops and its ParcSlope and Curve stands for MacBook Air M2 are some of the best desk stands you can buy. The ParcSlope is an excellent stand that doubles as a laptop stand and a drawing pad for your iPad, giving you an ergonomic typing and drawing experience.
On the other hand, the Twelve South Curve raises the height of the laptop to six inches from the desk, making it best for users who use an external keyboard. Both the Curve and ParcSlope keep the base of the MacBook Air M2 exposed for better heat dissipation.
While you can find stands cheaper than Twelve South on this list, what separates the brand from others is its use of quality material and gorgeous design. Both these stands look like a work of art and will enhance the look of your setup. Whether that’s worth the premium price Twelve South is charging, is up to you.
