If you need the laptop screen to be that close, maybe you need glasses. I have a Roost stand and with my keyboard in front of it, the distance is mostly right (13” screen and it’s more comfortable if I scale fonts up by 20% or so). It’s actually closer to my eyes than my desktop setup (24” screen mounted on monitor arm)
