How to choose a laptop stand or mount
Device compatibility. Check the screen size range and the weight the stand is designed to hold. Laptops, tablets and 2-in-1 devices differ in thickness and ports, so confirm that the clamp, cradle or enclosure leaves charging and USB connections accessible.
Mounting location. A freestanding stand sits on the desk and can be moved. A mount fixes to a desk edge, wall, pole or vehicle and keeps the device in one position. Many mounts use VESA hole patterns, so check that the hole spacing matches the bracket or adapter plate before you buy.
Adjustment and ergonomics. Raising a laptop screen to eye level reduces neck strain, but it also means you need a separate keyboard and mouse. Look for height and tilt adjustment if several people share the workstation, and a stable base so the stand does not wobble while typing.
Security and build. Public counters, classrooms and reception areas often need a locking stand or enclosure that holds the device in place and takes a cable lock. For a home desk, a lighter aluminium or steel stand is usually enough. Rugged vehicle mounts are a separate category and are built to cope with vibration.

Frequently asked questions
Does a laptop stand improve posture?
Yes, a stand that lifts the screen towards eye level helps you avoid looking down for long periods. You will need an external keyboard and mouse, because typing on a raised laptop keyboard is uncomfortable. Stands with adjustable height let you fine-tune the position.
What does VESA mean on a mount?
VESA is a standard pattern of four screw holes on the back of a screen or bracket, measured in millimetres. If the pattern on your device or adapter plate matches the mount, it will attach securely. Most laptops have no VESA holes, so they usually need a tray or adapter.
What is the difference between a stand and a mount?
A stand rests on a surface and can usually be moved or removed easily. A mount fixes the device to a desk, wall or pole, which gives a more permanent and often more secure position. Mounts are common where devices must stay in place, such as at a counter.
Do I need a locking stand for a tablet or laptop?
A locking stand is worth considering wherever a device is left unattended, for example in shops, classrooms or reception areas. It holds the device in an enclosure or bracket and can be tied to a desk with a cable lock. For personal use at home, it is usually unnecessary.
