Native Union Desk Laptop Stand 4

We’re all a lot more aware of our physical health and the impacts negative influences have on it these days and one of the major contributors to long-term health issues is on-going and consistent bad posture, such as that developed working at a desk 8 hours a day, 5 days a week with a laptop – as is more common since Covid and working from home. Unlike a conventional desk top PC, there’s no separation from the keyboard and monitor, leaving you with a hunched back and cricked neck. Other than plugging in to a monitor (which kind of defeats the whole point of having a laptop in the first place!) or building dodgy platforms with boxes or books, a desktop stand is probably the most practical way to solve this problem.

Now, Desk Laptop stands are hardly anything new so what does this one from Native Union offer? Well for starters it has an impressive maximum height of 60 cm’s, giving you a nice large range to play with and making it more likely you’ll be able to get it at just the right height to suit you. It can also handle up to 5kg of weight, far more than that of a standard laptop so no worries there. The base is weighted for stability and also doubles up as a neat little tray to hold bits and bobs and also has a pen holder – or you can use it as somewhere to keep your mobile phone safely out of the way while you work. Get yourself a wireless keyboard and you should have everything you need to focus on a safe and comfortable working area. The stand has a nice aesthetic to it with rounded edges, providing form as well as function and it comes in a choice of 3 matt colours (slate green, Sandstone and black). RRP £64.99
