ABSTRACT:
A support apparatus and method for providing ergonomic viewing positions to portable devices such as a portable computer. In an exemplary embodiment, a pedestal generally includes a base having a recess formed to receive a portable device, an anchor movably coupled to the base, and a support pivotally coupled to the base. The portable device may include a desktop portion and a display portion. The anchor may be formed to engage the portable device when the desktop portion of the portable device is disposed in the recess of the base. The support may extend upwardly from the base for holding the display portion of the portable device. According to one aspect of invention, the support apparatus and method provide advantages in that viewability of a laptop computer can be readily extended by ergonomically orienting the laptop computer through the use of a portable pedestal.
