What is a “Laptop Stand”?

A laptop stand is a useful item that can be placed under a laptop to adjust the height and angle of the screen and keyboard. By using a laptop stand, you can maintain a good posture while working, allowing you to work efficiently for long periods of time, and the keyboard can be tilted by adjusting the angle, making it easier to type. In addition, if you place a laptop directly on a desk, heat will build up at the bottom and it will be prone to overheating, but by using a stand, there is a space at the bottom that improves air circulation, improving the cooling effect and increasing the heat dissipation of the laptop.

Features of Each Type

There are a wide variety of laptop stands, but they can be roughly classified into three types.

Stationary Type

These types are relatively large in size, highly stable, and have a high degree of freedom in adjusting the angle and height. However, because they are large and heavy, they are not suitable for carrying around. This type is recommended for those who want to place them in a fixed location such as an office or home.

Folding Type

These types are compact, lightweight, and highly portable. You can easily set up your work environment even when you are out and about, such as in a hotel or cafe on a business trip. However, they are less stable than stationary and arm types. There are many relatively inexpensive products, and this type is recommended for those who want to try out a trial purchase, those who go out frequently, and those who do remote work in coworking spaces and cafes.

Arm Type

These types are characterized by the ability to adjust the angle and height, as well as the front and back position. However, because they are fixed, they cannot be carried around and it takes time to fix the arm and remove the computer. This type is recommended for those who want to use their desk space efficiently, as it allows you to finely adjust the position of your laptop and move it to the back of the desk when not in use.

Ergonomic Design

Most laptop stands are designed based on ergonomics. Ergonomic design, simply put, refers to the design of products and environments that are designed and devised to allow use in natural movements and conditions for humans and to minimize fatigue. Because the display, keyboard, and mouse are integrated into a laptop, it is easy to look down and to assume a hunched posture (so-called hunchback). Working in that position for a long time puts strain on the muscles around the neck and lower back, causing shoulder and neck stiffness and lower back pain. By using a laptop stand designed based on ergonomics, including our products, you can raise your gaze by adjusting the height and angle. This will straighten your back and move your neck to the most comfortable position, reducing the strain on the muscles around your neck. If you work at a desk for long periods of time, please try using a laptop stand to reduce the strain on your body as much as possible.

Features of Well Origin’s Laptop Stand

The laptop stand we handle is a “Folding type”. The main features of our products are as follows.

・Ultra-lightweight
Although it is made of aluminum alloy, it is ultra-lightweight at 195g and can be carried compactly.

・Fine Angle Adjustment is Possible
Most folding stands have 6 to 7 angle adjustments, but this product has 10 adjustments so you can adjust the angle more precisely to suit your needs.

・Velvet Storage Bag
Folding types often come with a storage bag for portability, but most of them are made of thin nonwoven fabric. Our storage bag is made of thick velvet fabric that is pleasant to the touch and, unlike nonwoven fabric, it can prevent scratches on your computer when carrying it around.
