When I was not self-employed my company forced us to use an external monitor, keyboard, mouse and a chair with armrests, because of regulations. I bet those regulations are there for a good reason but after 16 years of self-employed working from home on my laptop (no external monitor) on a 5 wheels chair with no armrest I'm still fine. I definitely prefer looking down than up. It's easier on my neck and I can look both at the screen and at my hands and touchpad. Not that I need it but it probably helps somewhat. I removed armrests because my wrists are resting at the side of the touchpad. I never touched the armrest unless I was standing up or sitting down.
