Laptop raised to proper eye level with external keyboard and mouse positioned ergonomically. Your neck will stop hurting, cables will be tidy, and your desk will look professional.
### Stop Hunching Over Your Laptop Like A Goblin
Working on a **laptop directly on your desk** means your head is tilted down all day looking at a screen that's way too low. Your neck aches, your shoulders are tight, and you wonder why your posture is terrible.
Laptop stands fix this immediately - screen up at eye level, external keyboard at proper typing height, and suddenly you're sitting like a functional human.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Laptop ergonomics are simple - raise the screen, lower the keyboard. That's it. But most people get the height wrong or don't bother with external peripherals.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Full home office setup?** If you need help with desk assembly, monitor arms, webcam positioning, cable management as well, let's do it all together - more efficient than separate visits. **Laptop stand recommendations** - Rain mStand (£45, excellent build), Roost (£75, portable), Amazon Basics (£25, does the job). Fixed height is fine - adjust your chair instead. **Keyboard recommendations** - Logitech K380 (£35, Bluetooth, good for most people), Apple Magic Keyboard if you're on Mac (£95), mechanical if you're into that (£80-150). **Mouse recommendations** - Logitech MX Master 3 (£85, brilliant ergonomics), Logitech M720 (£40, solid budget choice). Avoid tiny laptop mice - too cramped. **Clamshell mode** - If you have an external monitor, you can close your laptop lid and just use the monitor. I can set that up too (needs keyboard/mouse obviously). **In older Exeter houses** - If your desk is wobbly (uneven floors), I can add furniture pads to level it. Wonky desk makes ergonomics harder to get right. **USB hubs** - Most laptop stands don't have USB ports. If your laptop has limited ports, you might need a USB hub for keyboard, mouse, external drive, etc. I can advise what you need.
Frequently Asked Questions about Laptop stand setup in Dawlish
Why do I need a laptop stand?
Because hunching over a laptop on your desk is terrible for your neck. Laptop screens are too low - you're looking down all day. A stand raises the screen to eye level, then you use an external keyboard and mouse. Proper ergonomics that actually prevent long-term problems.
What's included in laptop stand setup?
I position the stand at right height for you, set up your external keyboard and mouse at proper ergonomic positions, connect everything, manage all the cables so they're hidden, and test it all works. You'll have a proper ergonomic workspace when I'm done.
Do I need to provide the stand, keyboard, and mouse?
Yes - I set up equipment you have (or have bought). If you haven't got them yet, I can advise what to get. Decent laptop stand is £25-60, keyboard £20-80 depending what you want, mouse £15-60.
Can you set up dual monitors with a laptop as well?
Yes - laptop on stand becomes one screen, external monitor beside it becomes second screen. I'll position both at proper height, sort the ergonomics, and manage all the cables. Takes about 1.5 hours for dual setup.
Will this work with a MacBook or any laptop?
Yes - laptop stands are universal. As long as your laptop can connect to external keyboard/mouse (basically all can via USB or Bluetooth), it'll work fine.
