Thanks.

Not yet, saw a few at the local shops. Want to give 2-4 inch back lift to ease use of keyboard and mouse!

I have one of these

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089R92KLC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&th=1

It sits in my laptop bag and although I would not suggest using it all the time at times it can be useful to raise the height and angle of the keyboard and the trackpad - Being Aluminium it is not flexible like plastic ones

You could also buy an adaptor to run the USB device direct from the mains yo can get them now which work as a mains extension, with several mains outputs that could power the laptop and a number of USB output ports for powering the stand.

This is for UK 240V supply but they should be available for your local supply

Thanks for the link and recommendation. Of the 2 1 on each side. 1 I use for a usb thumb/ext HDD, and the other for lan/ethernet via a usb 3.0 gigabyte usb extension.

The majority of laptop stands would just need the USB for Power, as power supply for the cooling fans, they do not need a connection to the laptop they can also be used to charge smartphones and other devices

True, I agree.

Alexey2912 · Jan 17, 2022

@barman58 , what it be fine to clean the laptop screen with a spirit/water soaked soft cloth and keyboard too?

Thanks.

I like your avatar.....

Unless the screen is hermetically sealed to make it totally liquid proof I would not recommend the use of any liquid or even aerosol cleaning products ...

A suitable soft cloth, preferably an antistatic cloth purposely designed to clean screens, would be a better way

It is sealed with an anti glare by Dell, but still I would go as you recommended.

Thanks.
