Your eyes will rise, and your posture and concentration will change!Reasons why the notebook PC stand "Rain Design iLevel2" is recommended

For everyone working on laptops.

When you hear the word "notebook PC stand", some people may feel that "it feels like something can be done without being honest ...". "I actually thought so," said the Wirecutter writer, who noticed that his feelings and posture changed as soon as he started using the laptop stand.

March 2020. When the Korona-ka began and I started working at home every day, I thought it would be temporary. However, when I was doing my daily work in the corner of my desk like that, half a year later, I started to feel pain from my arms to my back like never before.

So, finally, I decided to purchase "Rain Design iLevel2", which was introduced as the most recommended notebook PC stand in Wirecutter. I feel that my life has changed if I bought an external keyboard and mouse.

Until then, the shoulders and spine were curled up to wrap around the laptop, and the elbows tended to bite into the upper body like an injured Tyrannosaurus, but after using the stand, the position of the body is all. I felt like I was well restored. The pain in my body gradually disappeared somewhere, and I feel that my concentration on work has increased dramatically. After feeling this change, he regretted having been in a bad position without using a stand.

Experts say that when using a PC, you should look at the top of the screen. The keyboard should be level with the elbows. ... But this is also a posture that cannot be done with just one notebook PC. Due to the structure of notebook PCs, the screen and keyboard cannot be separated. For example, if you stack several thick books and put a PC on them, your line of sight will rise naturally, but this will not allow you to adjust the angle, and the problem of PC heat buildup tends to occur.

In order to aim for the ideal ergonomic placement, it is important to raise the height of the place where the notebook PC is placed and adjust the comfort around the arm with an external keyboard and mouse.

Wirecutter investigated 28 types of products and actually tested 13 units that were judged to be even better. "Rain Design iLevel2" was carefully selected as the first place. We have been conducting research since 2016 and have been selected as the best notebook PC stand.

The ease of adjustment when placing the PC is by far the best compared to other companies' products. You can adjust the height and angle as you like with one knob.

This "iLevel2" is compatible with 11 to 15 inch laptops. After actually using it, you can see that it is much more stable than it looks. At Wirecutter, I've tested it on a variety of laptops, including 11-inch Chromebooks and 15-inch gaming laptops, none of which was wobbly or slippery. With a sturdy hinge, you won't fall backwards.

The height can be adjusted from 16.5 cm to 21.5 cm. For many, this is the area where the line of sight is above the top of the screen. However, before purchasing, please check the required height with a ruler just in case. Also, it's okay if you sit down and work, but be aware that it can be too low when using a standing desk.

Made of alumite-treated aluminum, it looks simple and cool, and it dissipates heat from your laptop.

The only way to clean it is to gently wipe it off if it gets dusty. Even if you use it for a while, you can expect it to be used for a long time in the same condition as new.
