And yet that laptop stand is not even the slightest bit slanted, one of the crucial details. I could simply take a book and put the laptop on top of that, to get the same ergonomic features. I am aware that ergonomic use is not the main point, but it would certainly not have hurt to consider that angle at least a little bit.

That would have destroyed the brutalist cred.

Use a random cement brick instead of a book, then.

No, gotta use concrete.

Haha, consider that angle. (I'll show myself out.)
