Nulaxy Ergonomic Adjustable Laptop Stand, 10-16 inch
The pick here if the laptop stays on one desk. It lifts the screen properly, and the dual-rod design resists the sag that single-hinge stands develop.

Quick verdict
The default single-monitor arm for a budget desk setup. It is sturdy, has both base types, and the VESA standard means it will fit almost any monitor. Do not be lured by the '38-inch ultrawide' wording in the title — the safe upper end is 32.
A single-arm monitor mount for screens up to 32 inches and 22 lbs, with both a desk C-clamp and a grommet base included. Full articulation with tooless adjustment.
Anyone adding a single external monitor to a desk and wanting to free up desk space with an arm.
Laptops (you need a stand instead), heavy monitors over 22 lbs, or true 38-inch ultrawides. The title overstates compatibility.

A tidy, finished piece rather than a plastic tray. The tradeoff is that the price buys material and looks, not extra capacity.

The cheap, portable option. It will not hold a heavy laptop as rigidly as a dual-rod stand, but it costs under $10 and travels.
