"Working from home might be frowned upon at some companies these days, but the rising number of layoffs last year and the growing collection of workers who are launching their own businesses means the number of people working out of a home office is on the rise. If you're among them, you've no doubt learned that to make it a comfortable experience, you need a lot more than a laptop and a convenient table. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year, plenty of items on display seemed well-suited to make work life easier for home-based employees. Here's a look at the most notable tools."
"If you're used to a multi-monitor setup, you know the pain of having to adjust to a single monitor when you're on the road or find yourself confined to a smaller workspace. Xebec has been providing solutions for that for a while, but the Tri Screen 3 is the easiest fix yet. Simply clamp the base onto the back of your laptop's screen, plug it in, and in seconds you'll have three independent screens with which to spread out your browser windows, spreadsheets, and documents. The Tri Screen 3 works with both PCs and Macs (adapter needed) and runs $699."
"A good office chair is critical for home workers. Plopping yourself down in a chair stolen from the dining room for long periods will result in back pain and decreased productivity. Libernovo's Omni ergonomic chair has been on the market for a bit, but at CES, the company showed off upgrades that make it even more appealing. Rather than adjusting the chair itself, the Omni, which starts at $803, uses what it calls a "bionic" backrest, featuring 16 joints and eight panels, mimicking the human spine and following the user's movement in real time. It also will offer a temperature-adaptive cooling cushion that adjusts to your body heat."
Remote work has increased as layoffs and new small-business formation push more people into home offices. Comfortable home workspaces require more than a laptop and table. The Consumer Electronics Show highlighted tools aimed at home-based employees, including portable multi-screen solutions, advanced ergonomic seating, and backup power equipment. The Xebec Tri Screen 3 attaches to a laptop to provide three independent displays and supports PCs and Macs, priced at $699. Libernovo's Omni chair uses a 16-joint, eight-panel "bionic" backrest and a temperature-adaptive cooling cushion, starting at $803. Portable power stations address growing climate-related outage risks.
