Laptop Stands FAQ
DEAS (Desk Ergonomics Assessment Score) is Desk Doctor’s product rating system. Each product is scored across core performance, build quality, and design penalties, producing a 0–10 composite — higher is better. Tap any row in the table to see the full sub-score breakdown.
A laptop forces a compromise: if the screen is at eye level the keyboard is too high, and if the keyboard is right the screen is too low. A stand lifts the screen so you can add a separate keyboard and mouse at the correct height.
Yes. Once the laptop is raised, its built-in keyboard is out of reach. An external keyboard and mouse are what make a laptop stand work ergonomically.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
