Grovemade’s sexy new laptop stand will give you wood at your desk

Add as a preferred source on Google

Grovemade may have gotten its start making high-end wooden iPhone cases, but this Portland-based outfit is no one-trick pony. Over the past year or so, the company has been branching out and expanding its product offerings, making everything from wooden timepieces to desktop accessories. Today, they’re back with yet another sumptuous slab of wood — a hardwood laptop stand.

Similar to Grovemade’s previously-released Monitor Stand, the freshly-announced Laptop Stand is crafted from multiple sheets of wood veneer bent into a graceful, forward-leaning curve. This angled platform boasts ample surface space, raises your computer for improved ergonomics, and creates an area underneath for stowing desktop accessories.

“Bringing increased function and order to your desktop, the Laptop Stand is the perfect complement to any work or home office, making for a distinctive and comfortable way to help you work, watch, or play,” says Ken Tomita, Grovemade’s co-founder. “The Laptop Stand’s unique design, molded and shaped from several sheets of wood, lends a welcoming aesthetic boost to your workspace.”

As you’d expect, the new laptop stand is made from Grovemade’s favorite materials — Eastern Hardrock Maple and Black Oregon Walnut. And that’s not all. For added functionality, each stand also features a precision cut aluminum stop, lined with premium, vegetable-tanned leather, to prevent your laptop from sliding off the stand.

Universally compatible with all laptop models, Grovemade’s Laptop Stand retails at $119 and is available starting today on Grovemade’s website.

Your face can now serve as a way to get back into your Google account. Here's how to set it up.
Google account selfie sign in tutorial featured

Losing access to a Google account is rarely a quick fix, but Google has been actively working to make things easier. Last year, the company introduced a feature called Recovery Contacts that lets you designate a trusted friend or family member to verify your identity if you ever get locked out. Now, Google has introduced a new option, one that uses your face to get you back in instead of a phone call to a friend.

Like Recovery Contacts, the new selfie video authentication feature requires some setup before you can use your face to sign into your Google account. This involves recording the reference video that Google will use to verify your identity whenever you attempt to log in this way. Here's how to set up selfie video sign-in for your Google account.
