Griffin Technology, Inc. today announced that internal testing has verified that their popular laptop stand, the iCurve fits the newest PowerBooks released from Apple Computer last month.

Nashville, TN - February 14, 2003. Griffin Technology, Inc. today announced that internal testing has verified that their popular laptop stand, the iCurve fits the newest PowerBooks released from Apple Computer last month. Both the 12-inch PowerBook G4 and the 17-inch PowerBook G4 rest comfortably and securely on the soft rubber friction strips on the top of the iCurve. The iCurve is a clear Lucite laptop stand designed specifically for Apple's PowerBook and iBook notebooks. It raises the screen to an ergonomically correct position and elevates the notebook, making room for an external keyboard and mouse. The elevation also provides cooling for optimum CPU performance. The iCurve is available for purchase now at http://www.griffintechnology.com.

"The response to the iCurve laptop stand has been amazing. Our customers are deciding that the iCurve, combined with their favorite keyboard and mouse, allows a notebook to function perfectly as their full-time desktop computer. The addition of an iCurve gives them the best of both worlds - the portability of a notebook with the comfort of a desktop," said Andrew Green, Griffin's vice president of Marketing. "The beautiful design and functionality of the iCurve complements Apple's newest line of PowerBooks perfectly."

When positioned on the iCurve, the new 17" PowerBook G4 screen is raised to a total height of 16.5 inches. The front edge of the PowerBook rests just below the tips of the arms, giving the impression that the PowerBook is floating above the desk. However the notebook remains securely at rest on the rubber friction pads directly underneath. When combined with an external keyboard and mouse, this configuration is the ultimate wide-screen desktop replacement.
