Laptops: how to raise yours to work with your head straight
ECLATDESK
Working for hours on a laptop placed flat means keeping your head tilted all day. The solution is simple: raise the laptop and use a separate keyboard and mouse.
Why raise your laptop?
A laptop screen is naturally too low. By bringing it up to eye level, you keep your head straight and ease your neck and shoulders.
The 3 solutions
The laptop stand
It lifts the laptop higher, at a slight angle. With an external keyboard, it's the simplest solution for working from home. See our laptop stands.
The monitor riser
If you use your laptop as a second screen, a two-tier riser lets you store the laptop underneath and keep the main screen at the right height.
Monitor arm + laptop tray
To work with a monitor and a laptop side by side, the Duo mount holds both on the same gas spring arm. Height and angle adjust in one movement and the desk stays clear.
The right settings
- Top of the screen at eye level.
- Screen about an arm's length away.
- Keyboard and mouse at elbow height.
