Kensington, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals, announced the launch of Elevated Stand for Surface, a sleek and compact accessory for the new Microsoft Surface Pro that effortlessly enhances comfort, security, and productivity.
Designed exclusively for Surface, the Kensington Elevated Stand is the ideal accessory for ergo-friendly workstations with Microsoft Surface Pro, and the portfolio of Surface 2-in-1 PCs. The stand is a compact and portable riser that elevates the screen to eye level to support proper posture when using an external keyboard, enables tilt options for optimum viewing angles, and supports security solutions for both the device and the stand.
Benefits of the Kensington Elevated Stand include:
- Designed for Surface – Built in collaboration with Microsoft for seamless form, fit, and function to deliver a sleek, precision-engineered design.
- Compact and Ergo-Friendly – Designed to increase workstation comfort at the desk and on the go, the all-in-one riser optimizes viewing angles of Surface 2-in-1 PCs to minimize strain on the neck, back, and shoulders and then collapses into a compact form for easy carry.
- Enhances Security – Physical security for the Surface device and riser can be delivered by using a single Kensington lock.
- Reduces Desktop Clutter – Includes a magnetic storage location for a Surflink™ connector and a cable management channel to keep the desktop clean and clutter-free.

We are excited for our mutual customers to experience Surface with this beautiful accessory at home, in the office, and on the go.”
