I have a MacBook Pro but my neck is hurting from looking down all day - is there a good laptop stand I can buy and then get an external keyboard?

Yep... Laptops + >2 hours work = neck ache. I have a Zalman 'Cool Innovations' stand for my MPB. It's pretty good, has a USB fan underneath to keep the body cool(ish). In the past I've used books and a cardboard laptop stand that I built from old boxes using a template. That was pretty good for a while but you need some strong cardboard if you want it to last... if you're in one place it's fine... if you travel it can get a bit 'droopy'. But it's brilliant recycling-chic and packs down to the thickness of a small magazine which is great for co-working/hotdesking and quickly setting up shop for the day. There is also a pretty sturdy cardboard design for you can buy for only £8. The Cricket and Lapjack are worth looking at too. Posture People in Brighton will be able to give good advice if you need more. As for keyboards the Apple Wireless Keyboard is perfect for me, slips into a laptop bag and, with iOS 4, will have the added bonus of tethering with iPhone for those longer emails on the move. |

For my Macbook Pro I use a Logitech Alto Express laptop stand at work with an external keyboard. |
