You love your laptop. But you don’t like hunching over to use it. Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today introduced the Logitech Notebook Riser N110, extending the company’s line of notebook essentials that help make the laptop experience more comfortable around the home.

While the laptop is now the form factor of choice for around-the-home computing, Logitech’s research revealed that many people who feel that what they gain in convenience, they lose in comfort. For example, more than 60 percent of people surveyed reported using their laptops on the couch. Among people who prefer a more structured computing environment, more than 64 percent use their laptop on a desk, but 41 percent report concerns about how this affects their posture.

“We’ve identified two ways in which people use their laptops around the home - in structured spaces such as the home office, and unstructured spaces like the living room,” said Denis Pavillard, Logitech’s vice president of product marketing for keyboards and desktops. “Logitech now offers a range of solutions that enhance the laptop experience with designs based on our deep understanding of how people use their laptops around the home - and their desire to enjoy the convenience of a laptop, without sacrificing comfort.”

Logitech helps address these needs with the Notebook Riser N110.

“Notebook Computing has become a hot favourite amongst consumers due to the convenience and mobility offered by it. People now prefer carrying all their important data on the notebook as it gives them the flexibility of carrying it around wherever…whenever… However many people overlook the fact that prolonged hours of notebook computing can take a toll on one’s back, neck or/and eyes. It could even lead to serious posture defects if neglected for long. Logitech aims to make the notebook computing experience more enjoyable with the new ergonomically designed Notebook Riser N110 designed to raise a notebook’s display to an optimal viewing level”, says Mr. Subrotah Biswas, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Logitech.

Logitech Notebook Riser N110 - Elevates Your Notebook to Improve Your Comfort

To help increase comfort when you’re working at your desk, or any other table around the home, the Logitech Notebook Riser N110 features an ergonomically designed riser that elevates your notebook display to an optimal viewing position.

You can use the Notebook Riser N110 with your favorite external keyboard and mouse - such as the Logitech V550 Nano and the Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks - and arrange each peripheral individually to enhance your typing posture.

The Notebook Riser N110 also features an adjustable tilt - with 20-, 30- and 40-degree angles - and a rubber-soled swivel base, so you can choose the position that feels best to you. For your convenience, the Notebook Riser N110 flips open and folds flat for easy setup, transport and storage.

Logitech, however, offers more than just a comfortable notebook experience. The Notebook Riser N110 feature colors and a shape that fit seamlessly into your life. With light gray surfaces, Tuscan green accents and rounded edges, the Notebook Riser N110 will look good in any room you use them.
