Laptop stand positioned at eye level with external keyboard and mouse setup. Proper ergonomics without hunching over your laptop screen - neck and shoulders stay comfortable all day.
### Your Laptop Screen Is In The Wrong Place
Working hunched over a laptop on your desk? **That's why your neck and shoulders hurt.** A laptop stand puts your screen at eye level, external keyboard brings your typing position down to elbow height. Suddenly working feels sustainable.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Top of your laptop screen should be at or just below eye level when you're sitting up straight. If you're looking down more than 15 degrees, it's too low.

### Why Positioning Matters
Laptop stands only help if they're set up properly:
| ✅ Properly Set Up | ❌ Just Plonked There | |--------------------|---------------------| | Screen at eye level, no hunching | Still looking down, neck bent | | External keyboard at elbow height | Typing on laptop keyboard, arms up | | Cables managed for neatness | Wires everywhere, laptop wobbles | | Stable platform, doesn't tip | Knocks over when you adjust screen |
---
### What's Included
**🔧 Stand Setup** - Stand positioned for your eye level - Laptop secured and stable - Height/angle adjusted correctly - Ventilation checked (laptop cooling)
**📦 Peripheral Setup** - External keyboard positioned - Mouse at comfortable reach - Cables managed neatly - Everything tested together

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Full office setup?** Laptop stand positioning is part of complete desk ergonomics - gets done alongside desk assembly, cable management, and accessories. **Using external monitor too?** Position your laptop to the side as a second screen, or closed underneath as just a computer with external monitor as main screen. Whatever works for your workflow. **Mechanical vs fixed stands?** Adjustable ones let you change height/angle easily but cost more. Fixed stands are cheaper, portable, but you're stuck with that height. Depends if you share the desk or move locations.
Frequently Asked Questions about Laptop stand setup in Honiton
Do I really need a laptop stand or is this just ergonomic nonsense?
If you work on a laptop for more than a couple hours a day, yes you need one. Laptop screens are too low when on a desk - you end up hunching forward and looking down all day. Stand brings the screen to eye level. You'll need an external keyboard and mouse too, but your neck and shoulders will thank you.
What's actually involved in setting up a laptop stand?
Positioning the stand at the right height for your eyes, setting up external keyboard and mouse at comfortable positions, routing all the cables neatly, and making sure the whole lot is stable when you're typing. It's not complicated, but there's a right way to do it.
Can you help with the external keyboard and mouse too?
Yes - that's part of proper laptop stand setup. The whole point is screen at eye level, keyboard and mouse on the desk at elbow height. I'll position everything ergonomically and manage the cables so nothing's trailing about.
What if I use my laptop in different places?
Get a portable stand that folds flat. I can show you how to set it up quickly each time - same ergonomic positioning, but packable. Better than carrying a fixed stand around.
Is this really worth calling someone out for?
On its own? Probably not. But if I'm already setting up your desk, monitors, or doing other office work, it takes 15-20 minutes to get your laptop stand positioned properly and cables managed. Makes sense as part of a bigger setup.
