It’s almost impossible to spot a college student without a laptop on campus. Old school note taking is quickly becoming a thing of the past, with digital methods replacing the traditional "notebook and pen" approach. Laptops are a great option for an all-in-one study tool, entertainment hub, and homework assistant! With this increase in laptops, it would be beneficial to take a look at ergonomics on college campuses.


Take a quick look around and you can see that the college environment is not necessarily the best in terms of proper ergonomics. Luckily for college students, there are some simple and economical options to help! One of the easiest ways to improve ergonomics is to add a laptop stand to college students everyday study set up.


Laptop stands are affordable and portable, making them the perfect tech accessory for college students. We’ve gathered a list of the reasons why all college students would benefit from using a laptop stand on campus.

Improved Ergonomics

Sitting hunched at desks all day can really take a toll on the student’s back and neck. With a laptop stand, students can easily lift their laptop to a better viewing angle, which allows them to reduce the strain on their neck and back.

Boosts Productivity

Improving ergonomics while working has proven to help boost productivity. Reducing the pain of sitting hunched at a desk can help eliminate some distraction and annoyance. You can also use a laptop stand in a standing position, which allows for even further productivity and efficiency. These things are key when functioning in the world of a college student.

Portability

College students are constantly on the move whether it's from class to class, to the dorm, to the library or any other number of places. Since laptops are portable, it’s convenient that an ergonomic laptop stand would be too. You don’t just want added ergonomics in your dorm room, but everywhere you go. Many stands are lightweight, made of a variety of materials, and have different features to suit everyone’s taste.

Improved Airflow

Buying a new laptop can get expensive, Which is why users often make the longevity of the laptop a top priority. Improved airflow is critical for improving the lifetime of a laptop. Heat typically comes from the bottom of the laptop, making it very important to raise the laptop off of flat surfaces. A laptop stand will directly combat this issue and allow for improved airflow.


There are a variety of portable laptop stands available to suit everyone’s preference. Getting one today will help you improve your ergonomics, productivity, and laptop air flow. This simple tech accessory can help drastically improve the college experience.

Long Weekend, Clean Desk: A Labor Day Home Office Refresh Guide

You don't need a weekend project, you need thirty minutes and the right setup. Throughout this post, specific VIVO products get highlighted as the tools that make the refresh actually happen, tied to real friction points (tangled cables, cramped single-monitor setups, no storage, an uncomfortable non-adjustable desk) rather than generic product callouts.
