This ergonomic flatpack laptop stand transforming your setup into a standing desk is a 2021 must-have!





The RLDH Alto Standing Desk is a thoughtful flat-pack accessory designed keeping in mind your multiple needs if you can’t invest in a height-adjustable desk.

Sitting all day can take a toll on the health, and over time it can create serious health hazards – the line sitting is the new smoking delivers the graveness of it. However, according to research standing for at least 30 minutes per hour has profound benefits, and that’s the reason standing and height-adjustable desks are trending these days.

Yet another perk of a standing desk is increasing focus, kickstarting the creative process, and heightened productivity. The RLDH Alto Standing Desk is a thoughtful flat-pack accessory designed keeping in mind your multiple needs if you can’t invest in a height-adjustable desk. It is simple to carry and disassemble, with the option to adjust the height of your keyboard and mouse tray, giving it the flexibility of use with your laptop. Yes, this stylish yet functional standing desk is tailored for use with your laptop – virtually transforming your table into a standing desk when the need arises. Its flat-pack and lightweight (weighing just 6.5 lbs) nature give you the freedom to tuck it away when not needed or even to take it along during travel for remote work regimes.

The accessory is made from eco-friendly materials such as Baltic birch, and the manufacturer plants a tree for every one of these stands sold. It is available in the dark Walnut or Natural Baltic birch finish. To further narrow down on the ergonomic comfort and optimal stance, Alto Standing Desk comes in five different size options, plus it has space to dock your smartphone too.

The desk fits a laptop measuring 13-inches or larger, making it a versatile accessory for anyone in your home. There’s just one thing that I wanted this ergonomic laptop stand to have – the ability to have height-adjustable function for the laptop section just like the Standsome standing desk. In the meantime, this is a great tool to switch up your sitting/standing habits and get you started on improving your lifestyle.

AOL unveils Alto: a web-based email client with an emphasis on aesthetics and organization

A cleanly organized inbox may be a holy grail that's seemingly out of reach, but AOL (which happens to be our parent company) has unveiled a web-based e-mail client dubbed Alto to help cut through clutter. Instead of singing up for a brand-new email address, users log into the service with an existing Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL or iCloud account and can use Alto to organize, send and receive messages. In addition to the traditional list view of received emails, Alto takes a cue from analog letters and automatically sorts mail into stacks depending on whether they contain attachments, photos, daily deals, notifications from social networks and bulletins from retailers. Users can customize and hide existing piles or even create new stacks based on key words, recipients, senders and other parameters.

Have more than one email account that needs its contents wrangled into order? No problem. Alto can handle up to five accounts per user. If you're intrigued by the cloud-based client, you can take a gander at the gallery of screenshots below or head past the break for more details in the press release. Alto is currently accepting users on a first come, first serve basis in a limited preview, so hit the source link if you feel inclined to take it for a spin.

Making ‘Make Do and Mend’ Fashionable

I have my moments of fighting the needle and thread, trying to mend some ripped clothes, but they always seem to get the better of me. Simply put, I HATE mending clothes and much rather replace them with new than pick an odd stitch. I know its wasteful, but unless someone makes it easy for me…simple as the Alto Sewing Machine, I ain’t fixing another ripped stitch!

As the designer explains, “to simplify threading, a metal guide runs from reel to needle for the user to follow. Speed is controlled by pressing with the fingers through the fabric and the patented force sensor technology in a rubber foot underneath the machine allows the beginner to control speed from whichever hand position they find most comfortable. A flexible drive shaft replaces the traditional pulley system to form Alto’s distinctive arch, increasing room for the fabric and improving visibility of the sewing area.”
