iLift Desk Arm

Looking for a monitor lift that will compliment your standing desk setup? Of course you are. There are many on the market, but today we zoom in to take a close look at one specific product: the iLift.

iEverything these days, right? You can guess what system this accessory is built for. Mac users take note. If you want a monitor arm for your system, this is going to pay attention to.

Today we are going to take a look at some pros, and some cons to see if it is right for your setup. Read on!

Six Mounting Positions

The whole point of this product is to make sure you have a comfortable viewing experience with your monitor.

To that end, the iLift is very successful. It features six different mounting positions that will ensure people of every size have a satisfying experience.

The monitor can extend up to 27’” and collapse up to 4.5”.

S200 Degrees of Tilt

The monitor itself is also going to be able to experience a wide range of mobility. The hinging mechanism that the monitor is attached to can tilt and rotate at a range of 200 degrees. The benefit of this feature is really pretty straightforward. With that range of motion, customizing your experience is easier than ever.

Weight Rating

The maximum weight rating for this arm is up to 40 pounds. It goes without saying that your monitor isn’t actually going to weigh anything near that much. Still, when it comes to weight ratings, you always want to error on the side of caution.

With 40 pounds you won’t need to worry about the well being of your monitor.

Issues

In terms of performance there aren’t really any issues that we had a big problem with. However, there is a problem that many people will find long before they ever take the iLift home. It’s expensive.

Very expensive. In fact you can probably get a computer that isn’t a mac for the money that you would spend on the iLift.

A deal breaker? For some people it probably will be. For others, maybe not. You can think of it as an overpriced desk accessory, or you can think of it as an insurance policy. For the money that you spend here, you get a solid product that will keep your pricey computer monitor safe.

Pros and Cons Pros

• Weight Capacity of up to 40 pounds

Conclusion

The perfect arm lift? Maybe not. It is a little bit pricey for something that just makes looking at your computer monitor a little bit easier. Still, if you don’t want to leave the health of your expensive monitor in the hands of an inferior product, this one is going to be something to think about.

It is sturdy, versatile, and ultimately, it will do the exact job you ask of it: keep your screen comfortably suspended over your desk.

When it comes to desk arms, you can’t ask for much more.
