Is a monitor arm a good alternative to a separate laptop stand?

For users who use a laptop as their primary display (rather than an external monitor), a laptop tray arm — a monitor arm with a VESA-mounted laptop tray instead of a monitor plate — provides the same ergonomic benefits as a monitor arm: laptop screen at eye level, desk surface cleared, and full adjustability. The laptop tray accepts most 13"–17" laptops and positions them at the correct viewing height. A separate keyboard and mouse are typically needed for ergonomic typing when the laptop is raised on an arm. This setup is increasingly popular for remote-work equipment packages where a full external monitor is not provided. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries laptop tray arms — call 1-800-460-0858.
