Since these are mostly laptops, the product doesn’t need to include any other devices such as external monitors, speakers and keyboards. As a result you have a very streamlined unit.

The product is also very versatile. Since each leg has three joints that you can rotate and lock, this standing desk converter can be transformed into different shapes. It can hold your laptop while sitting on a couch, lying on a bed, or standing in front of a desk.

The device is also equipped with USB fans to prevent your laptop from overheating.

This is a standing desk converter that seems to work like magic. In its initial position, the device behaves like a normal tray.

This arm system also offers great flexibility as you can adjust it up and down. You can “swipe” it left or right. In fact, you can easily fold out your monitor, keyboard and mouse when you need more desk space.

As a bonus, the main stand of the device has a USB plug for charging or powering other USB-based devices.

So what should you get?

The first thing to do when shopping for a table display is to avoid falling into the trap that there is something for everyone. Everyone has different wants and needs, and you want the one that gives you more benefits with as little downside as possible. With that settled, it’s time to cover some of the finer details.

budget

As you may have noticed, desktop converter prices vary widely. Therefore, it is better to start with a clear budget before considering any single item. If you do it the other way around, you’re probably going to overspend.

Another important point is to make sure you stick to your pre-determined budget.

Height

Height is arguably the most important factor to consider when purchasing a standing desk converter. In most cases, a desktop stand up converter is placed on a regular desk. Therefore, measuring the correct height also depends on the height of the desk.

First, stand in front of the desk where you want to place the product. Then raise your forearm until it reaches a 90 degree angle with your upper arm. While staying in this position, you should measure the distance between your hand and the tabletop to determine the optimal height. When buying a table display, make sure it has height adjustment that takes into account the optimal height you’ve just received.

Note that the 90 degree angle is considered optimal. If the arms and hands are at a higher angle, the standing desk converter is unnecessarily burdened. Such a scenario could result in the device collapsing due to the extra weight. If the angle is less than 90 degrees, your wrist is in an awkward and tense position. Remaining in such a position causes discomfort in the short term and can lead to more serious problems (e.g. tendinitis, arthritis) in the long term.

Device

Another important factor is the device you put on the bar table converter. In most cases it is a combination of laptop or monitor, keyboard and mouse. Standing desk converters are typically designed specifically for one of two purposes. Of course, some devices can handle both. However, compared to a device that specializes in one type of device, it is likely to be more expensive.

Material Basics

The materials used can significantly affect the aesthetics, cost and longevity of the device. As such, it’s a factor that requires more attention than most people would convey.

The conventional materials used to make a standing desk converter are stainless steel, aluminum, wood and plastic. Most often, some types of material are combined into one unit.

Below are some brief notes on the main materials.

• stainless steel – Durable but can be expensive.
• aluminum – Lightweight but prone to scratches and dents.
• Wood – Very nice, but can be expensive.
• plastic – Very productive, but not long-lasting.

There are other factors to consider when purchasing a device. However, never forget the key points mentioned above, because they serve as a basis for a smart purchase decision.
