Lenovo has the Lenovo S1801A(WW-b) Notebook Stand for $25 - $18 off with coupon code USP1JU16484 [Exp 6/4] = $7 with free shipping. Features an adjustable height and accommodates notebooks from 9" to 17".
My experience has not been so great...the adjustable "drawer" on the bottom does not lock properly, so the whole thing tends to slide out, potentially dropping the laptop on the floor (fortunately I caught mine ahead of time). I did find it awkward to use my laptop for the proper setting (it's an Alienware 11"), it set up too high to utilize the keyboard, but with the drawer all the way out it worked a little better....except for the sliding on the floor part. I bought it at $7, and I consider it $7 wasted.
I have had this for a year now and was worth the $7 in my opinion. There may be better solutions, but this works great for the price.
would this work better for tablets? seems like it would be an awkward position for a laptop
It's adjustable. It should be good for laptops.

I am not crazy about our work issued Lenovo's. I can't stand the buttons above the touch pad.
