johanson Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have no idea what that is. Could you tell me what it is and how you use it to save your neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Maybe something to place your tablet etc on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hard to order one when you can't tell what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I use a very thick book to raise my screen to eye level. without it, I have to tilt my neck down and as you get older that can create localized neck pain. I checked out one of those desks you see offered that you can lift up so that you can stand. Looks great but costs around $14,000 pesos through Costco on line, which is too much for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I tried one of the standing desks once. There is an issue that is rarely mentioned in the sales pitches for those. Standing in one place for hours may not feel better, especially for older bodies, or be much healthier than sitting. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allows for the screen to be closer than books would allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some, standing for a long period is not good for their blood circulation. It may lead to swollen feet and ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Ideally, you want the center of your screen just a bit below eye level. But I have trifocals so I'm always tipping my head back. I need a taller chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Ideally, unless you take your laptop on trips a lot, you would instead get a tower. Screen is larger, height is correct, keyboards (even the cheapest) are far better, and every part inside can easily be replaced. They are also more powerful and faster, with more disk storage space, for less money. And if you do travel, get a tablet. Buying all this extra stuff to make a laptop more like a desktop... well...

If you can swing for a second pair of glasses, get one with the focus set at about 2 feet, full lens... or measure to your computer screen and always use the same distance. Tri or bi focals are hard on the eyes, if you spend a lot of time at the computer. You have to tip your head back and that means your lids don't cover your eyes when you blink. Dries your eye.
