Podium CoolPad | White
The rock-solid, adjustable tilt laptop stand
The Podium CoolPad raises the back edge of your laptop to increase airflow, improving the cooling efficiency of your laptop, doing wonders for your mobile work environment!
The CoolPad also allows a 360-degree rotation of your laptop, making it ideal for small presentations, while the six small rubber pads on the bottom provide a tight gripon any surface, ideal for air travelers. Offering more than just ergonomic benefits, the CoolPad also protects your furniture from heat damage.
The base plate's trapezoidal shape and the 'Lexan' risers provide a rock-solid, stable base for serious typists. 'Furniture friendly' rubber feet really grab any surface.
Finding your comfort zone
Using a laptop comfortably for sustained use can be difficult because the laptop's design is a problem - when the screen is at a comfortable height, the keyboard isn't... and vice versa.
Here's the paradox. Your eyes should be in line with a point on the screen about 2" below the top of the screen... and touch typists should keep their wrists as flat as possible. Doing both at the same time is mission impossible with a laptop.
One study concluded the most significant problem caused by laptops was neck strain. Professor Alan Hedge, PhD, CPE, FHFES, FIEHF, FIEA, AFBPsS. Director, Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory at Cornell University wrote: "Beg, borrow or steal an external keyboard and mouse for desk work. ....be sure to elevate and position the screen to approximate looking at a real monitor."
'Hunt and peck' typing causes your head to bend forward to locate the keys causing neck strain. Raising the rear of the keyboard to the steepest angle lets you see the keys so much better and because you use your whole arm to hunt and peck, wrist strain is not the issue, neck strain is.
This Podium CoolPad gives you a better chance to find your own comfort zone... and dissipate that heat.
