Buying guide
Laptop stands: set the screen height and typing plan together
Choose a laptop stand by screen position, stability, ventilation, desk space, portability and whether separate input devices are needed.
Start with the shape of the decision
Raising a laptop can improve screen position, but sustained typing on a raised built-in keyboard may create a new problem. Plan the stand, chair, keyboard and pointing device as one workspace rather than treating height as an isolated purchase.
Free checks first
- Raise the laptop securely on stable household items to trial a comfortable screen height.
- Check whether the desk has room for a separate keyboard and mouse in front of the stand.
- Observe whether ventilation openings would be covered at the intended angle.
