The Ant Esports ALS05 (Black) is a foldable aluminium laptop stand with six height levels, anti-slip rubber strips and an open, double-layer frame intended to help airflow under the laptop. It is a sensible, low-risk pick if you want to raise a laptop screen closer to eye level at a desk, in an office or while travelling, provided you pair it with an external keyboard and mouse and accept one gap: Ant Esports does not publish a maximum load or a supported screen-size range.
This article is based on Ant Esports’ official product page and the Amazon.in listing data, both checked on 17 October 2026. It is not a hands-on review, and we could not find an independent test of this exact model from a major publication, so you will not find real-world stability or temperature results here. Anything that comes only from the Amazon.in listing is labelled as the listing’s claim.
The variant covered is the ALS05 in Black, sold as a single stand. Ant Esports also lists a Silver ALS05 on its own website, but the Amazon link in this article points only to the Black model.
Quick verdict
- Best for: laptop users who want a light, foldable riser for a home desk, office or café table
- Best for: people who already use, or are ready to buy, a separate keyboard and mouse
- Key strengths: 4 mm aluminium alloy construction, six height levels, anti-slip rubber strips, folds flat, 1-year warranty on the official page
- Key limitations: no published load capacity, supported screen sizes, or exact height and angle figures
- Skip if: you type for long hours on the laptop’s own keyboard with nothing external, or you want fan-based cooling for a hot-running gaming laptop

What a laptop stand like the ALS05 actually fixes
A laptop places its screen and keyboard in one fixed relationship. When the keyboard is at a comfortable typing height on a desk, the screen sits well below eye level, so most people tilt their head forward and down for hours. A stand such as the ALS05 separates those two things: it lifts the screen higher, and you type on an external keyboard placed back at desk level.
The Amazon.in listing says the six-level adjustment raises the screen towards eye level and helps reduce shoulder pain and eye strain. Treat that as an ergonomic aim, not a guaranteed result; it depends on your chair, desk and habits. A commonly recommended starting point is to set the top of the display at or slightly below eye level and keep it roughly an arm’s length away, then fine-tune from there.
The important practical point is that the ALS05 works best as part of a setup. Without a separate keyboard and mouse, a raised laptop forces your wrists and shoulders upwards to type, which can be less comfortable than using the laptop flat. If you are building a full workspace, our work from home desk setup guide for India covers keyboards, mice and monitors that pair with a stand.
Build: what 4 mm aluminium alloy means in practice
Ant Esports’ official page lists the ALS05 as made from 4 mm aluminium alloy. Aluminium is a common choice for portable stands because it is reasonably rigid for its weight and does not rust the way bare steel can. Thicker metal is generally less prone to flex when you type or tap the screen.
The official page says the stand stays stable even with a heavier laptop, but it does not give a load figure in kilograms. That is the biggest missing number. If you use a large gaming laptop or a 16 to 17-inch workstation, you have no published rating to compare against your machine’s weight, so you are relying on the brand’s general claim. Lighter ultrabooks and 13 to 15-inch office laptops are the more cautious fit until the brand publishes a limit.
The anti-slip rubber strips sit where the laptop rests. According to the official page and the listing, they stop the laptop sliding and protect it from bumps and scratches against the metal.
Six height levels: useful, but check the numbers you need
The ALS05 offers six height levels, according to both the official page and the listing. Neither source states the actual height or tilt angle at each step, so you cannot know in advance exactly how high the top level goes.
In practice, this means the stand gives you a range of positions rather than a precise, documented height. If you are tall, use a low desk, or want the screen raised a lot, measure your current eye level against the screen and confirm on the listing’s images or questions section whether the maximum height is likely to be enough. If it falls short, a stand with a taller arm or a separate monitor arm is the better route.
Heat dissipation: passive airflow, not active cooling
The official page describes an open double-layer design for heat dissipation and says the aluminium acts as a heatsink. The listing adds that the open design improves airflow to help prevent overheating. These are fair design goals for a stand of this type: lifting the laptop off the desk exposes its underside, so intake vents on the bottom are no longer pressed against a flat surface.
What the ALS05 does not have is a fan. It relies on natural airflow, so it cannot push cool air into the laptop the way a cooling pad can. Ant Esports has not published temperature results for the ALS05, and we found no independent test, so we cannot say how many degrees, if any, it lowers temperatures. For everyday office work this passive approach is usually enough. For long gaming sessions on a thin laptop, a powered cooling pad is the more direct tool.
Portability: folding design and a carry case (listing claim)
The stand folds flat for storage or travel, according to the official page. The Amazon.in listing gives the item dimensions as 24 x 4.5 x 2.8 cm and the weight as 220 g, and lists a carry case in the box. The listing does not say whether those dimensions describe the stand folded or opened, so check the product photos if bag space is tight.
Who should buy the Ant Esports ALS05
- Students and office workers using a laptop as their main computer at a desk with an external keyboard and mouse
- Hybrid workers who move between home, office and co-working spaces and want something light to carry
- Users of 13 to 15-inch laptops who mainly do browsing, documents and video calls
Who should skip it
- Anyone who only types on the laptop’s built-in keyboard and does not plan to add an external one
- Owners of heavy 17-inch gaming laptops who want a published load rating before buying
- Gamers who need fan cooling to manage sustained heat
- People who need a precise, documented maximum height for a tall setup
- Users who want to rotate the laptop to show the screen to someone across the desk
Alternatives worth comparing
All of the following are other Ant Esports stands, with details taken from the brand’s own product pages on 17 October 2026.
- Ant Esports Riser 30: an aluminium, foldable, tilt-adjustable stand that the brand says suits 10 to 17-inch devices. It states a supported size range, which the ALS05 does not, but the official page lists a 6-month warranty.
- Ant Esports Riser 40: a carbon steel stand with a 360-degree rotating base and height and angle adjustment. Useful if you often turn the screen to share it. It also carries a 6-month warranty on the official page.
- Ant Esports NC270 RGB Gaming Laptop Cooling Stand: a powered option with five fans (four 140 mm and one 70 mm, rated up to 2500 RPM), two angle positions, two USB ports and support for laptops up to 17 inches. Choose this type if active cooling matters more than portability.
If you are leaning towards a fan-based pad from another brand, our Zebronics ZEB-NC3300 cooling pad review looks at a dual-fan option and its limits.
What to check before you order
- Variant: confirm the listing title says ALS05 and Black. The Silver version is a separate product.
- Your laptop’s weight and size: since no load limit or size range is published, compare your laptop’s footprint with the product photos and ask the seller if it is heavy.
- Box contents: the listing says a carry case is included. Check it is present when you unbox.
- Warranty: the official page lists a 1-year warranty. Keep your Amazon invoice, as the listing’s warranty text says claims need the necessary documents, and it excludes physical damage, water damage, tampering and mishandling.
- Listing text: one of the listing’s feature bullets mentions a different brand name, which suggests some copy was reused. Rely on the official specifications and the listing’s technical details rather than the marketing paragraphs.
- Accessories: budget for an external keyboard and mouse if you do not have them yet.

Final word
The Ant Esports ALS05 (Black) gets the basics right on paper: a 4 mm aluminium alloy frame, six height levels, anti-slip strips, a folding design and a 1-year warranty on the official page. Its weak spots are missing data rather than known faults, chiefly the lack of a published load limit and height range. For a light or mid-size laptop used with an external keyboard, it is a practical, portable riser. Heavy gaming laptops and tall users should look at options with clearer ratings.
