Working from home - How to set up your laptop (correctly!) | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

thanks!!

How many laptops have people smashed while using this setup with books? Are you really so sorry to part with $ 10 to buy an adjustable and ergonomic stand on Amazon?

Very effective for me!!

In your setup if I have just a keyboard and no touch pad I have to use a mouse and that causes upper arm pain. Any fix? Thanks for a nice presentation.

I have been having awful arm pain and even had a frozen shoulder. I have my laptop propped up on a shoe box but not quite high enough as I now see. I bought a separate keyboard but haven't used it. The result is that I am holding my left arm out straight typing all day. Have you heard of people having shoulder and arm issues from this? I would imagine!!

a question please

Can i keep my laptop on table vertically in Idle situation ( powered off/not using), Is there any issue.

I don't have books 😭😭🤣🤣

I see, adjust heigth height of your laptop with tons of books. I was actually looking for comfortable lying positions however, this works too, working positions are also needed... we used to put this many books below our laptop in online exams, and lot of books below keyboard too so examers can see our hands too. It strained wrist like shit when we were sitting. To think it was actually closer to rigth position for body, only we needed to be on our feet

Thanks, but my laptop fell off and it's broken now.

thanks alot mate 🙏🙏🙏

Have same Clarks shoe box..😅

Now thats much better than people saying you need 4 pillows

Great

Just buy laptop stand lol..

I've been doing this even having desks etc, because they're always the wrong height.
Then one day, I felt frivolous, and splashed out $25 aud to swap the books for a laptop table, because I'm worth it! ;-)

You might also need insurance for your laptop

Awesome

That's exactly how I work!!!

great advises but bad laptop

Thank you! 👍🏼

I dont have keyboard..laptop should be build in everything.. Your explaination is like using desktop..

How if i dont like using mouse?

Thanks Man. Very helpful

Thank you so much. You have really helped a lot.

Perfect!!!!!

💯🔥

i don t like how you handle your laptop

This guy is just flexing

Having a separate keyboard is almost necessary for good posture honestly. Also just makes things feel cozier for me.

Thanks a lot for this, is really amazing

1. He sets up computer in front of a lot of windows, lots of glare at different times of the day. 2. Stacks his laptop on top of boxes.. so dog or cat or kids can knock it over. 3. didn't buy wireless keyboard.. and something is gonna get caught in that chord and pull his laptop right off the table.. My advice would be buy a bigger monitor at least 22" (your eyes will thank you). Don't set it up in a room with lots of windows and glare, and sun. Buy a mouse and external keyboard. 3. Put your laptop in a safe spot with good airflow, where its safe from being knocked over or having coffee falling on it, Its much easier to replace an external keyboard, then to fix liquid damage to a laptop. IF your using it as a desktop computer, do it right, make it as desktoppy as possible.

What about arm rest for typing??please provide some tips as shoulder becomes painful when using keyboard

Hmmm, aren’t the books blocking the air flow? Aren’t this a fire hazard?

This was great since I am learning to code and I was coding for the last 6 months on my bed now I got the perfect position that I can work on.

I did the same thing now thanks

After so much of WFM.. i hate laptops now.. gonna setup my own workstation with desktop... this temp adjustment with laptop did work... was having lower back pain.. thanks well explained..

That was brilliant and very helpful. Great content for COVID folks at home!

Thanku very much

Can u suggest me how to set up the phone at eye level while watching online classes for hrs??

Thanks. It is a pretty nice setup. I have seen your video and applied it. Now I can work with less pain You helped me to build an ergonomic office without spending any money on it. Thanks again. Love from Bangladesh

Very Good advice , especially creating a standing desk

Thanks you and its good to see other cost effective ways to keep a good screen eye level when working. Its also good for people to Consider your laptop ventilation channels when using items which might be smaller than your laptop base. The small feet under the laptop lift them up to maintain air circulation. Also ensure the book stack is secure. Maybe try a nexstand

but what if my lap top falls?

Just bought your back/lumbar videos. Im finding sitting at home really difficult. I have a sciattica pillow for the chair, but it just doesn't feel good (feels like my my legs are always too high up). Hopefully I'll be able to figure out the chair situation...

perfect! Thank you so much. Sending to my colleagues right now!

Thank you. All the best.

Great tups and trucks thanks Tum!
