Stand Up Tall

obVus Minder Laptop Tower Stand

$74.99, obVus.com

Sitting at a desk all day can lead to bad posture and backaches, especially if the chair doesn’t provide great support. An alternative for those who use a laptop is this stand that goes from two inches above desk level to allow for ventilation, up to 21 inches, allowing users to work standing up. The laptop is held securely in a tray that can be angled for optimum viewing and keyboard access.

These attractive glasses can be a very practical solution to help prevent dry eyes, blurry vision, eyestrain, and headaches linked to computer screen exposure. Designed for all-day comfort, the anti-reflective lenses block 100 percent of harmful UV exposure.

It’s engineered with cutting-edge technology for use with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, delivering 2.3 Gbps for wired connections and 1.6 Gbps for wireless devices.
