Why do I need a laptop stand?

There are multiple benefits to using a laptop stand, rather than just plonking your laptop on top of your desk.

Ergonomics and comfort

When you're at a desk, operating a laptop as-is is not exactly ergonomic. It's generally recommended to position your computer's display at eye-level as to avoid hunching over and straining your neck. Without a laptop stand, the display of your laptop will fall well below eye-level. This isn't great if you plan to sit down and work on your laptop for any extended period of time. Most laptop stands, including those on this page, feature height adjustment for optimal comfort whilst working.

For use with external displays

The elevation provided by a laptop stand is perfect for those who use an external monitor in addition to their laptop's display. A laptop stand will bring these devices closer together, so you won't have to repetitively crane you neck down from the laptop and then up to the monitor. Plus, dragging and dropping windows from the laptop's display to your monitor will look more continuous and natural. Do keep in mind, however, that you'll want to pick up an external keyboard and mouse for use with a laptop on a laptop stand.

Cooling

What's more, a laptop stand can also help improve your laptop's temperatures. When a laptop is laid flat on a surface, such as a desk, its fans won't have a lot of clearance to draw in fresh, cool air. This can result in your laptop operating at a higher temperature, in turn reducing performance. A laptop stand, on the other hand, lifts your laptop off your desk, improving air circulation in and around the device.

Some stands also feature built-in, USB-powered fans, potentially further increasing cooling. These are also known as cooling pads. You can learn more about cooling pads in our blog Do gaming laptop cooling pads work?
