Blockchain is transforming business. What's your strategy?

Leaders of forward-thinking organizations are exploring how blockchain can transform the way they create and seek value. Whether it's used to streamline multiparty processes, create and trade new assets, or leverage artificial intelligence and the internet of things, blockchain enables entirely new business opportunities.

This is just the start. As blockchain becomes more widely adopted, it has the potential to radically change the way companies and societies operate, as transformative a paradigm shift as the launch of the internet.

The Real Business of Blockchain is one of the first books on this transformative technology written for business leaders. Authors David Furlonger and Christophe Uzureau--both of Gartner, the world-renowned research and advisory company--will help you:

  • Assess how blockchain will impact your business
  • Explore the value proposition that blockchain offers
  • Make smart near- and midterm investments
  • Position your organization in a new competitive landscape

Timely, visionary, and accessible, The Real Business of Blockchain cuts through the hype and helps you unlock the vast capabilities of this powerful and potentially world-changing technology.

Attractive and Solid Laptop Stand
Color: Walnut, Color: Walnut
The premium quality at this affordable price is a great deal to me. You'd see these sort of designs sold on high-end desk organization companies at expensive ($$) prices. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this is a solid laptop stand that was built with the utmost attention to detail. The walnut panels are lined with scratch-resistant felt pads while the aluminum base has a silicone cushion to protect your devices when placing them in. The silicone feet and sturdy weight prevents the stand from moving and tipping over. The adjustability feature is great, especially if you want to accommodate several devices or even books. Per its specifications, I find that it accurately accommodates items ranging from 2cm (0.7in) up to 4cm (1.5in) in width. It fits my 2020 Macbook Air 13" perfectly.

Product Quality.
Color: Walnut
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ “This stand is sturdy, stylish, and keeps my desk clutter‑free. The walnut wood and aluminum design looks premium, and the dual slots fit both my laptop and tablet securely. A bit pricier than basic stands, but worth it for the quality and organization.”

Attractive and Functional
Color: Walnut
I bought this to prop up my MacBook Pro M2 to save space on my desk while I am using a dock. The base is nicely adjustable, and holds the laptop securely. Sturdy metal base and attractive wood side pieces. My MacBook has never felt like it might tip, and I have a cat who squeezes past it to reach my office window multiple times per day. If you like the look, I'd highly recommend it for functionality.
