A portable stand for holding a laptop computer is capable of folding to a compact state for storage purposes. The portable stand includes an elongated base member with a pair of base feet to rest on a floor surface, a set of vertically extending post members, and an elongated platform member with a pair of support wings to hold the laptop computer in a position ready for use. The base feet are moveably attached to the elongated base member to swing from a compact position juxtaposed the base member to an extended position at substantially right angles to the base member. The post members are moveably attached to one another, moveably attached to the elongated base member, and moveably attached to the elongated platform member. The base feet and the support wings swing substantially horizontally from the base member and the support member, respectively, while the post members swing substantially vertically relative to one another and to the elongated base and support members. When all the components of the stand are fully extended, a sturdy stand is created which is capable of holding a laptop computer at the proper height and angle for use. When the components are all folded upon themselves, a compact unit is created which easily fits into a carry-case or suitcase for storage purposes.
