it also seems like a very small savings. the thing sitting on top of it is full of lithium, cobalt, etc. so why should i care if it's sitting on a bit of plastic/aluminum/wood?
that said, a tutorial to turn the shipping box for your laptop (or a flat of diet coke) into a stand would be good. useful in a pinch
edit: keyboard box might be the best box to print the fold lines on. you need that for a minimally ergo laptop setup anyway
- K0balt 2y agoFor 20 dollars I can buy an aluminium and stainless steel laptop stand that adjusts from a thin wedge up to holding my screen a nearly eye height. It will outlast me, and folds into a smaller size that fits nicely in my laptop bag. Laptops will probably go away, but it could be handed down for generations, and when it no longer can be used, the majority of the energy and resources used to make it can be recouped through recycling it’s intrinsically valuable metals. This 20 dollar piece of paper will last until the first month in a humid environment. This should be a tutorial on how to reuse discarded material into an improvised, impromptu laptop stand. If I saw someone pull this out of a box and put their laptop on it, they would lose a great deal of credibility in my estimation. If I saw someone make this out of some waste paper in a coffee shop, I would be intrigued and compelled to seek an opportunity to see if that person was open to making new acquaintances and sharing ideas.
