At the risk of this going off topic a bit. Laptop use is not Laptop use.

What i do with my laptop is i have it on this thing:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B072PZLZ25
That can adjust tilt, rotate and height (and of course it can be moved around
on  the table)
put a good keyboard below it and a good mouse to its right.

Iam not sure how this is worse than a desktop in terms of ergonomy.
Also given one needs a mouse and a keyboard for a desktop too, its just
the cost of that stand.


thx
