'The Fin' laptop stand
A company called Fins-Up has released The Fin, an add-on for Apple laptops that functions as a permanent stand. The product is made of single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, and raises a laptop just far enough off a desk to create a more comfortable typing angle, simultaneously reducing system heat by allowing air to circulate underneath. The durability of the Fin means it can double as a handle, making it easier to carry a laptop around a home or office. Four models of the Fin are available: the MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4 versions retain a natural aluminum color, while the MacBook versions are powder-coated black or white. Each stand costs $30 and must be user-installed with the included screwdriver.

uh
$30 + s/h for a hunk of metal to make your laptop bulkier. They should include "No moving parts!" in their marketing material to emphasize how lame this is.
A DIY alternative would be to gorilla glue a piece of 2x4 lumber to your computer instead.
