Reddit mentions of Roost Laptop Stand – Adjustable and Portable Laptop Stand – PC and MacBook Stand, Made in USA

I was going to do the sexy just laptop set up that you guys have here but I noticed it was uncomfortable and my neck started hurting so I got this which adds a little bulk but can still one bag.

1. Roost stand
   
2. goldtouch travel keyboard
   
3. logi trackball for when desk space is limited
   
4. Additional monitor and monitor holder
   
   
   Pros
   

• ergonomic
  
• no more neck pain
  
  cons
  
• more weight
  
• 
  
• the additional monitor sometimes makes the roost tilt slightly having the wheel hover above the desk but never tipping over. Sometimes it stays flat but I don't have the exact science yet.

  Roost laptop stand. I know there's a cheaper knockoff that's heavier though and may do better in not having the tilt occur when the additional monitor is added.

Dude, get a Roost stand. I'm three years older than you and making this switch eliminated my neck and back pain from being hunched over at cafes and airports.

I own that one. It is not wobbly! But if you want to go expensive here is the original one from where all the clones came from!

For those interested commuters

You don't need RAM to run one or two applications. Honestly, a laptop with specs from 1998 would probably be fine. Or better, since it would keep you from having too many distractions open.

Instead, focus on the keyboard. Or buy whatever cheap laptop you like along with a laptop stand and an ergonomic keyboard.

(I have both of those and recommend them.)
