Working from home often means working from your couch, armchair, kitchen table, or other comfortable location close enough to an outlet. But even if you work in a physical office, you may find yourself slouching on your laptop for hours on end while you edit Excel sheets and think about email responses.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Using a laptop computer can cause discomfort due to the low screen height, keyboard, and narrow touchpad.” They recommend positioning your computer so that the top of your monitor is at or just below your normal eye level.
If you’re tired of hunched over your screen and stress on your neck, back, and shoulders, you might be pleasantly surprised by the relief a laptop riser can provide.
As the name suggests, a laptop riser is a small table or tray that holds your laptop at a height, which means it can meet that eye-level recommendation and you won’t have to bend over as much during your workday scrolling, typing, and clicking. It’s easy to store and doesn’t take up much space on your desk, and it can help give your back a break while you work.
To help you find the best laptop for you, we’ve rounded up our favorite picks, which range in price, size, and style. There are several super-tall ones you can use with a standing desk and quite a few options that fit anywhere, but all of them are loved by reviewers.
