Independent hand position
The laptop is not raised; screen height and keyboard position remain coupled.
Working-from-home planner
Laptop desk-setup wizard
Separate the screen decision from the keyboard and pointing-device position. The wizard turns your current arrangement into a short list of changes to test, without assuming that every laptop user needs the same accessories.

2 areas to improve
Screen arrangement
Regular laptop-only use would benefit from a separate screen or a raised laptop with separate inputs.
Desk depth
60 cm entered; 50 cm is the tool's starting depth for the 60 cm eye-to-screen distance.
Pointing device
For regular sessions, a separate pointing device can reduce dependence on the laptop position.
Changes to test in order
- 1Raise the laptop on a stable support or add an external monitor.
- 2Test camera height, face lighting, microphone pickup and the visible background in the real call position.
- 3Use operating-system text scaling and brightness that remain readable without leaning toward the screen.
- 4Run a normal work session during the return window before buying more accessories.
