Does anyone use a stand for a laptop ?

I have an old desktop PC which doesn’t used all that much, as I use the laptop more and more I would like a stand.

So that I can lift the screen and simply plug in a keyboard/mouse whilst sat at the desk.

Yep, got it from Betterware for about £10, use it every work day without any problems whatsoever,

Clicky here.

Is the laptop screen better than the monitor from your desktop? Cos I’d use that too if not

Cheers KINGTUT, what size laptop do you use with it ?

I have a 17inch laptop.

17″

I’ve got one of these:

But I doubt its of much help for what you want. 🙄

Thats a bit funky looking!

I use one of a laptop stand and an external bluetooth keyboard

ludicrously overpriced admittedly, but then I’m a Mac user so will clearly be bent over for anything that looks nice. Oooooooooooooooooooh look!! Shiney brushed aluminium things!!! Where’s my credit card 🙂

Docking station ftw.

Laptop stands are jey.

Molgrips is wise.

If it helps, my laptop stand is a currently a Haynes Workshop Manual for a MkIII Escort. I suspect other models would work equally well but I haven’t tried them.

I use something like this:

then have some space for bits and bobs underneath. Although I tend to keep the laptop open on there, and use it as an extra screen alongside my big monitor.

I use one of those trays you can eat your dinner off, when using it away from a desk.

This one looks a little funky:
