Ikea laptop desks: design and features

A laptop gives a person mobility - it can be easily moved from place to place without interrupting work or leisure. Special tables are designed to support this mobility. Ikea laptop tables are popular in Russia: the design and characteristics of this furniture are suitable for a variety of purposes.

The two main characteristics that differentiate laptop desks from conventional computer desks are portability and portability. If computer tables are often especially ergonomic, with great functionality, then tables for laptops are much less "fancy". But they take up a minimum of space, and some models can even be taken with you on vacation or business trip.

There are several of the most popular laptop desk designs:

• Stand table on wheels. The design is a mobile stand on which the equipment is placed. The tilt angle and height of the stand are subject to change. Such a table is convenient for those who like to "move" with a laptop from the kitchen to the sofa in the living room, to the bedroom. However, it can be easily thrown even into the toilet.

• Portable table. The model is a table with low legs, which is convenient for work, lying or half-sitting on a sofa or in a bed. Often, such a model has an additional place for a mouse and an insert for a mug with a drink. The angle of inclination of the laptop is adjustable for many models. This table is multifunctional - it can be used for breakfast in bed, it will be useful for toddlers who still find it uncomfortable to sit at a large table.

• Classic table. The model created to work on a laptop is usually very small and has special holes that prevent the equipment from overheating.

Foldable holders and stands are very popular, which are placed on regular tables, but allow you to raise or tilt the laptop for convenience.

Several models of laptop tables are presented in the Ikea catalogs:

• The simplest models are portable stands. These are the Vitsho and Svartosen models. They do not have casters and "work" like additional supports to a sofa or armchair.

• For leisure or entertainment, the Brad stand is suitable - you can put it on your lap or on the table.

• Models in the form of full (albeit small) tables - "Fjellbo" and "Norrosen". They have different functionality and design. The Vitsjo series also has prefabricated shelves that allow you to assemble a storage system around the table. The result is a compact and modern workplace.
