No 10
A laptop on a table puts the screen a foot below where eyes want it, and the Lamicall stand is the cheapest honest fix: an aluminum riser that holds a 10 to 17 inch laptop at an adjustable height and angle, stays put under typing, and lets air under the machine so the fan stops running. It folds flat to go in a bag.
It suits a remote worker who has been stacking books, a graduate setting up a first desk, and a coworker or boss who complains about their neck. Paired with any external keyboard it turns a laptop into a proper workstation.
It holds up to about 22 pounds, works with any laptop, and the rubber pads keep the lid from scratching. Thirty dollars, no assembly, and it is one of the few desk gifts that gets used eight hours a day.
