If you don't have a monitor you can mount to a VESA bracket or you want to use your laptop screen but still stand at your work, the VertDesk Standing Desk Converter is the best fallback option, and we mean that as a compliment. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu. The Kangaroo Pro Junior makes you do a little bit more work than some converters-turning knobs and gently lifting with your hands-but that pays off in ergonomically superior arm and neck angles. And because you work on a flat, deep surface, rather than a narrow tray, you can use whatever combination of keyboard, mouse, and other tools best fits your work.
