How to Make the Perfect Work From Home Setup

Like many others over the last couple of years, you may have found yourself within the tango of hybrid working.  

So, you have most likely felt the disappointment of returning to your single-screen home set up, possibly restrained to the sofa, laptop in, well, lap, sneaking in a few peaks at Netflix, but ultimately not getting a whole lot done? We feel your pain. 

Fortunately, that’s exactly why we’re here - to give you all the best tips and tricks, and help build your best WFH set up for your needs. 

 

How to create your setup

We know getting your latest binge show in and having snacks nearby is nice, but a table and chair is a must have. Slouching over your laptop in bed might be a treat, but it can cause strain on your back, neck and eyes! 

Ensure that you have a chair that provides good lumbar support, and the top of your monitor is at eye level, ideally 50cm away.  

WFH can definitely be distracting! To avoid being too tempted by distractions, taking regular breaks around every 30 minutes to stretch or drinking some water is recommended. 

Now for the good part…

Laptops

Laptops are great when you're on the go - with a system, monitor, mouse and keyboard in one! An absolute score for the average hybrid worker. They can be easily moved and worked from in transit (long commutes are definitely to be taken advantage of), but easily hooked up to a second monitor for the ideal home set-up.

Desktops

We know that some of you love a good old PC. But, WFH certainly raises some limitations with space. In which case, you can’t go wrong with a desktop Mini PC. These take up minimal space and can immediately be hooked up to dual monitors with a USB Keyboard & Mouse. This certainly creates the ultimate office-from-office feel! 

 

HP EliteDesk 800 G2 

The HP EliteDesk 800 G2 allows you to blast through your most demanding workloads thanks to the uncompromising performance of 6th Gen Intel Core, Intel HD 530 Graphics, and optional high-end discrete graphics and HP Turbo Drive. 

You will also have the reassurance of a PC that goes through 120,000 hours of HP Total Test Process and is designed to pass MIL-STD testing.

Plus, by buying through Intelligent Servers you can configure your own desktop to have powerful SSDs or more memory, depending on your requirement! 

All Desktops come with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit pre-installed and fully activated.

 

 

Workstations

Workstations certainly pack a punch. As they are much bigger by design, they are not the most ideal for a WFH set up! However, with the extra power they hold, they are suited to more demanding workloads, such as video editing or engineering.
