Do you spend all day hunched over your laptop? Do you experience neck and shoulder pain once the sun starts to leave us? Maybe you spend most of your days in a coffee shop or shared workspace. Or maybe your laptop is your only home computer, and you usually use it on the couch, in bed, and at the kitchen table, depending on where the day takes you.

The beauty of laptops is that you can use them in just about any ideal position—right? As opposed to a standard external monitor and external keyboard, you can do so much more than sitting with one at your desk: you can sit cross-legged with your laptop in your lap, prop it on your stomach while you lie in bed, or leave it on the floor as you sit around a game board, all thanks to the flexible viewing angle and lightweight quality.

The average american with an office job spends the equivalent of sixty-seven days a year seated at their desk. That’s right—many people spend between four and nine hours a day, or up to 20% of their year, in front of a computer.

This gets even more out of hand when you choose a TV wall mount.
