Tired of getting hot hands while using your laptop? Is your neck getting a crick in it from looking down at your laptop screen? Logitech’s Alto notebook stand and keyboard aims to alleviate you of all these griefs.

The top of the stand features an angled platform on which to rest your notebook, while the full sized keyboard underneath connects via USB to the computer. The keyboard includes a number pad, media panel, and standard key layout, and has a soft palm rest at its base.

The Alto can also be collapsed and folded in half so that it measures 23.7 x 42.8 x 3.6cm and can be put away when not in use. In addition, it features three USB ports so you can connect peripherals like a mouse and printer easily to it.

Available in December in the UK and Europe and in the US in January, the Alto costs £70.
