Can I store my laptop Upright

I bought a product called the Laptop Flip to store my Fujitsu laptop in the vertical position when not in use.

Is it okay to store laptops vertically?

Why not? Just make sure the stand is stable, because a few bad falls could crack the screen or dislodge the keyboard or even kill it, along with a multitude of other bad things. I store mine vertically all the time. If anything, it can be good for the laptop - it can finish cooling off better upright because you're not covering any vents, and more of the computer is in the cooler air.
