Mount Your Laptop to a Stand For Safe Transport

A portable laptop stand or laptop mount provides a convenient place for you to put your laptop in your driver’s seat. You can even get smaller models which hold both your laptop or tablet. They can be mounted on the caddy, rack, or windshield of almost any van, SUV or truck. The mounts are customizable to fit most vehicles, small trucks and cargo vans.

You will need a minimum of a 22″ laptop mount, but many models will vary. There are laptop arm extensions as well, but these may not extend to the full width of the monitor arms, so you may need to purchase additional mounting hardware. If you purchase an extended monitor arm it will typically not come with a laptop mount.

Some of the newer laptop vehicle mounts have a swivel mechanism, but the older ones have a fixed laptop arm. Swivel arms allow the laptop to be placed flat on the table and adjusts to a position of your choice. This is especially good for people who frequently use their laptop on the flooring to write, type or do other similar activities.

When selecting a laptop mount, make sure it offers a flat panel to view your screen from. Some are tilting screens, others are simply built-in flip up screens. It should be adjustable to fit all laptop styles including the classic, the small, and the big ones. The swivel mechanism should allow the laptop to rotate freely in different directions. The monitor arm should be strong enough to support the weight of the laptop, and it should angle upward and outward for comfort.

You can use a laptop mount to safely and securely transport your laptop whether you’re using it in your car, or the bag or backpack. Carrying a laptop in your hand is awkward and can result in accidents. Having a laptop in your vehicle’s cargo holds poses a risk of theft or loss. By having a laptop mount, you will be safer and more comfortable while driving. It also gives you more space to keep other items as well.

There are many styles of laptop mounts. Before you purchase one, be sure to measure your laptop’s weight and be sure that the monitor arm will be strong enough to support the weight of the laptop and its accessories. A laptop mount may be purchased at any electronics retailer or laptop supplier. They are usually available at a discount when purchased together.
