Tips for working on a Laptop

Working on a Laptop

Welcome to the world of pain and discomfort – head tilted forward, shoulders hunched, screen possibly too close and too low (Possible back and neck ache, headaches and eye strain).

Separate Keyboard & Mouse

Using a separate keyboard and mouse lets you move the screen away and create a marginally better position, which should help reduce eye strain. Your head is tilted less, but your screen is still too low. Potentially still causing back and neck aches and headaches.

Raise your Screen

Using books, magazines or boxes, you can experiment with the monitor height to find the ideal height for you. You want to get your head balanced and upright and avoid tilting forwards, which helps maintain a better neck and back posture and reduces strain and discomfort.

Laptop Stand

With the addition of a laptop stand, you can raise your screen to a far better height. Further reducing the tilt of your head to look at the screen and reducing the strain on your upper back, shoulders and neck. A laptop stand is a much more practical option for raising your screen.

Monitor Arm with a Laptop Mount

The best choice is a Monitor Arm with a Laptop mount. Monitor arms provide a wide range of motion, allowing you to position your screen at the perfect height, distance, and even tilt. Reducing the strain on your neck, upper back, and shoulders. Unlike a laptop stand, a monitor arm also frees up valuable desk space.
