Laptop Stand Recommendations

[DanielChaplin908]

Hey!

I'm awaiting the delivery of my new laptop (details below), and I'm looking for a laptop stand to raise it up for better ergonomics. I've seen so many options online and can't decide. Do you have any recommendations for good laptop stands?

It’s simply a stand to raise it off the desk, you don’t need anything fancy. Something like this

Thanks. What do you think of this as it offers a bit more flexibility to position: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BNNLPJW2

I don't think I could use something like that, how do you use the keyboard with it stuck up in the air like that

You've got a point. I would like the laptop raised for better posture as my desk isn't high enough. I can use an external keyboard and mouse, but this wouldn't work all the time so this would overcome the angle issue. What do you suggest I do?

Yeah, that looks pretty decent. May be worth checking if it states a weight maximum where the arm can hold retention, I did have a brief look but couldn't find anything obvious
