I couldn’t find a great way to use it with any externals. Versatility: 7 due to only accommodating the laptop. I’ve decided to order a Roost alternative that will sit on top of the X-Stand to give me the best of both worlds. On its lower setting, I can use it like I would the Roost to put my laptop monitor at a comfortable height for viewing and using an external keyboard and mouse on the desk.ĭoing this comparison did leave me wishing the X-Stand had a slant to it, so I could get both the benefit of standing and the benefit of an ergonomically correct posture. With a small base, it can be used nearly anywhere, including narrow bench tables. Intentionally made in America out of FSC-certified, CARB II compliant bamboo, the X-Stand gives you a solid platform that doesn’t wobble. The Roost is for sitting (or standing) in a more comfortable and healthier position, where your head isn’t constantly turned down, peering at the laptop monitor a good 6-12 inches lower than where it should be to relieve strain.Įven so, I found myself preferring the X-Stand over the Roost due to its stability. What I realized as I found myself comparing the two is that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. (Check out the Roost on Amazon via this affiliate link.) It’s ridiculously light and portable, made of a thin plastic, so I found myself getting asked to compare the two quite often as I traveled more with the X-Stand. It’s a stand for your laptop that sets it at an ergonomically-friendly height by slanting it open, requiring you to use an external mouse and keyboard.
My girlfriend and a few friends had backed the Roost when they launched on Kickstarter, so I’ve had access to one for over a year. I propped the monitor up on a few books, using the X-Stand for my laptop, and though I got the heights where I wanted them, I couldn’t find a good configuration for an external keyboard and mouse.
I had so much fun, I decided to add it to my bag and headed out to work from Elevator Commons.īack home, I set it up again, this time wanting to use my external monitor while standing. I’m 5’5″ and it gave me a perfect standing height on its lowest setting. Nevertheless, I immediately set it on my desk at home, in less than a minute, and got to work. Next, I thought it felt a little heavier than I’d like to be portable. My first reaction was that it’s as stylish in person as it is on their site. When I heard about the X-Stand standing desk, it sounded like the perfect solution to my desire to stand and need to be mobile. Where I put my first standing desk worked well for the morning light, but not so much for the afternoon, and I found that I simply didn’t use it often. In Portland, Oregon, where I live, access to natural light drives my desire to be mobile. I simply wanted to move around and change my scenery (hence why I cofounded Workfrom). It wasn’t that I didn’t like standing while I work. You do not want to share your problems in some public forums.When I first decided I wanted a standing desk, I installed a couple of shelves-one at the perfect height for my keyboard and the other about a foot higher for my laptop and extra monitor.You need to smoothly ramp-up and optimize your automation process and need (free) support for this,.You want to be notified of any technical alerts or new versions,.You want to get emergency patches if needed,.You want quick advices/answers from an expert to your issues,.You want some of the add-ons features that are included only in the Professional, Business or Enterprise versions.You care about garanteed support and sustainability,.
