Home office

Your monitor should be placed on a desk at a level that makes it most convenient and comfortable for you. It’s recommended that this be about an arm’s length away from you with the top of the screen at eye level.

The best size of monitor depends on what you’re working on. Anything 24-32 inches should cover most workloads. You might want to go for a bigger screen if you spend lots of time in spreadsheets, or if you want to see the detail in visual creative projects.

Your monitor should be about an arm’s length away from you for easy visibility and comfort. And both the laptop and monitor should be raised high enough for the top line of the screens to be at eye level or below. In terms of how you arrange them on the desk, that’s totally up to you. You may prefer to have a smaller laptop screen on the left or right of your monitor.

The difference between a professional printer and a home printer is mainly the size and the output. Home printers are designed to be more compact and only print a few pages at once, whereas professional printers are built for volume and usually take up a lot more space.

The best computer for working from home depends on your work type and how much space you’ve got. All-in-one models are a great shout for a sleek look that doesn’t take up too much space, but normal desktop towers aren’t as big as they used to be and often give you a bit more power under the pedal.
