The Targus HyperSpace notebook stand for a 16" system at ~£33 ex‑VAT feels like a “good enough” ergonomic buy, not a serious docking solution. If what you want is better posture, steadier laptop positioning, and a bit more airflow on a hot desk, it’ll do that job without asking you to commit to a £100+ desk setup. For the money, it’s the kind of accessory that can make long days noticeably less annoying—especially if you’re often on calls and need the screen closer to eye level.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting meaningful “portable dock” behaviour. It’s a stand, so it won’t replace a proper dock for desks, multiple monitors, or reliable everyday port expansion. Also, since you’re looking at the “16 inch” variant, you’ll want to be confident your specific laptop sits securely without wobble—check the base fit before you rely on it for a bag-and-go setup.
Who should buy: office workers, contractors, and anyone using a single laptop most of the day who wants a cheap ergonomic upgrade. Who shouldn’t: people needing real docking/port expansion, or anyone who wants a premium, rock-solid travel station rather than a desk lift. If you already have a dock, this is a sensible add-on; if you don’t, don’t treat it as a substitute.
