Choosing a small-sized laptop table

For many, a laptop, as a compact alternative to a stationary computer, has long become an integral part of everyday life. However, its use is not always convenient, since the equipment has to be held in hands or on knees for a long time. To eliminate this problem and increase the comfort of using the laptop, a special small-sized table will help.

A laptop table is a comfortable and compact stand that can be stationary or portable. It not only provides additional comfort when working with a laptop, but also significantly increases the safety of using the equipment.

Most manufacturers equip their models with the following features:

• table height and table top tilt adjustment;
• anti-slip work surface;
• rotating legs that allow you to rotate the equipment 360 °;
• the presence of fans or special openings for heat dissipation and noise reduction.

These features greatly reduce the risk of equipment falling and overheating, which extends the life of your laptop.

In addition, additional mouse stands, drawers for stationery, USB ports can be used as an add-on, which gives additional convenience to the user.

At the same time, the dimensions of the tables allow them to be stored under a bed or in a closet and even, if necessary, carried in a bag or backpack.

It can be used not only for setting up a laptop, but also for reading or as a stand for other necessary things.

The entire wide range of mini-tables for laptops is divided into several types:

The main distinguishing feature of such models is the presence of various additions in the form of planes for a mouse, stands for cups and plates, backlighting, a perforated surface for cooling and others.

All this makes using a laptop more comfortable, which is especially important for those who spend most of their time at the computer.

Outwardly they resemble a school desk. More massive interior items in comparison with other models. But they are also highly functional. Equipped with a laptop table top and a dedicated footrest. In this case, the work surface can be installed in any position convenient for the user.

They represent a rather voluminous tabletop on short, stable legs. The angle of inclination of the working surface can be adjusted. Designed for those who like to use a laptop while lying in bed or on the couch.

Available in several versions. There are models without adjusting the height and angle of the table top, reminiscent of ordinary bedside tables. Some of them can be C-shaped and serve not only for installing a laptop, but also as a full-fledged desktop.

Another popular option is a small table with adjustable height and tilt of the work surface. In addition, it is equipped with castors, which makes it easy to slide under the bed without cluttering up the space in the room.

One of the modifications of the bedside table is a fitted version in the form of a stand, adjustable in height and turning in the desired direction and at the required angle.

Convenient models with reliable clamps. They can be moved around the room or apartment as needed, without worrying that the laptop will fall. Often, such tables are supplemented with drawers or shelves, which allows you to quickly move not only computer equipment, but also everything you need to work.

Stationary models, similar to ordinary computer desks, are only much smaller in size, since they do not have additional stands for the keyboard, system unit and monitor. Due to the peculiarities of their design, they can significantly save space in a small room. Moreover, such options for tables are often made with drawers, additional cabinets, shelves or niches, allowing you to organize a real work area.

They are consoles mounted on the walls. They can be stationary or folding. Very convenient for small spaces. However, in such models, the possibility of adjusting the height and angle of inclination of the tabletop is excluded.

In addition, the original compact table with a soft pad on the knees filled with balls is very popular. Using a pad helps to relieve heaviness on your legs and make the process of working with your laptop more comfortable.

Typically, a small laptop table is made with a table top about 50-60 cm deep, allowing you to comfortably place a standard laptop. Some tables have a reduced width of 40 cm. But these dimensions are not suitable for all laptops.

The most compact is a transforming table. Its dimensions are 60x30 cm. This makes it easy to carry and use anywhere. In addition, some of them are equipped with retractable additional panels that increase the functionality of the computer desk.

Quite often models of mini-tables are made with a rounded cut - so that you can move the monitor closer to you.

The larger versions are equipped with additional hand rests to facilitate extended keyboard use.

The height of the tables varies depending on their purpose. So, bed beds can be up to 50 cm high. And bedside and bedside tables - up to 1 m. In addition, in many products this parameter is adjustable.

Small-sized computer tables can be made from a wide variety of materials. Most popular:

• Bamboo. 100% environmentally friendly, strong and durable material. In addition, the bamboo tables are light enough to support significant weight without any problems.
• Wood. Can be used for tables of any kind: from folding bed tables to stationary models with a superstructure and additional drawers and shelves. Like all wooden products, they look luxurious and can last for more than one year.
• PVC. The main distinguishing feature of plastic models is a wide range of colors: from dark to almost transparent.

• Glass. Elegant glass tables are always in fashion. They can be simply transparent, or matte or tinted.
• Aluminum. Most often used for folding tables. At the same time, they are equipped with additional elements that increase the comfort of working with a laptop.

Often, several materials are used in the manufacture of small tables.

Modern manufacturers offer consumers a wide color palette of small-sized laptop tables. The assortment includes strict traditional colors and modern "fun" colors for children and adolescents.

The wide assortment, on the one hand, allows each user to choose the most suitable table. On the other hand, it is not at all easy to understand a wide variety of models.

For the correct choice of a laptop table, experts advise, first of all, to pay attention to:

• Convenience, which includes the ability to adjust the height, angle of the working panel and rotation of the screen;
• Functionality. Much depends on the size of the countertop and the presence of additional elements;
• Terms of product use. So, glass or metal tables with reliable fixing devices are suitable for the bathroom, and the most compact bed products for the bedroom.

Those who use a laptop for gaming purposes should pay attention to the options that can be installed directly on the chair, using its armrests as a support. Moreover, such tables must be equipped with cooling devices.

Due to the difference in models, small laptop tables can be selected for any interior. Wherein:

• for a room decorated in a classic style, stylish elegant bed tables made of wood are best suited;
• high-tech, modern and other modern styles will perfectly fit plastic or metal models;
• a metal table with a high adjustable leg will be the perfect solution for the techno style.

As for the purpose of the room, the most functional stationary tables are suitable for the office. And for the living room - glass tables on wheels, which will not only become a convenient place to work at a laptop, but also a beautiful piece of furniture.
