I love the idea behind Logitech's Casa Pop-Up Desk. As with all the best ideas, it's a nifty solution to a common problem – a solution that you can't believe doesn't exist already. The 'problem' is that many of us who work on the move (on trains, in cafes) or in random rooms where we live (kitchen table or low coffee table), make do with working long hours on laptops, often craning our necks and hunching our shoulders for hours on end. You don't need to be an expert in ergonomic chairs, desks and stools to know this is less than ideal.
The solution, says Logitech, is to provide a portable set up that houses all you need to keep your eye-line ahead of you, your back straight, chest open, and your neck upright. And the Casa Pop-Up almost nails that brief perfectly. It's a mobile work solution that elevates your laptop to an ergonomically-sound eye level, provides a lovely mini keyboard, and a... decent track pad (more on that later), and comes in a beautifully designed hardback book-styled case, that fits nicely in a backpack.
