DIY laptop stand

ergonomics

I prefer laptop as my personal computer. Well, I think you can guess several reasons why I like laptop more than desktop. However, one disadvantage of laptop is the keyboard and the monitor are join together. This cause me have poor posture all the times while I’m using my laptop. Eventually, cause my back, neck, shoulder and wrist strain especially my shoulder.

In order to overcome this problem I really need to find a solution for good laptop ergonomics. At first, I thought I will buy the Logitech Alto laptop stand (the price is 99euro).

However, I found my laptop does not suitable for the Logitech Alto laptop stand (read the review) because my audio and mic ports are at front. They will be unusable. I have to think about alternative. After did some browsing on internet I got an idea to do my own laptop stand.

It is easy, what you need is a bookend, floor protector pads.

Bend it to the shape as showed in the pictures.

Then, stick the floor protector pads at the front of laptop stand to prevent it scratch the surface of laptop. Stick the floor protector pads at the back of laptop stand too in order to make it stand firmly on the table.


Here you are, a DIY laptop stand.

I’m going to buy a keyboard on this coming Monday. After that, I hope I will have a good laptop ergonomics and no more stress pain.

UPDATED: Bought new keyboard, Logitech Ultra flat keyboard.

    I do not know how often laptops crash. I just know that years ago laptop crashes was one major disadvantage.
