So you're a digital nomad! You are a freelancer who also sells t-shirt designs online and you can live anywhere in Thailand for as little as $20 a day. Congratulations on your newfound freedom, dude! And while you might not be lounging on my couch, I can help you choose between Roost and Nextstand. Both Roost and Nextstand are good for keeping your monitor at an ergonomic height when using an external keyboard. If you post a picture of your laptop on Instagram with the beach behind it and the beer next to it, you can avoid accidentally spilling the beer on your keyboard at 10am. Because you are a digital nomad and you are. Namaste or whatever. Both Roost and Nextstand extend to different heights depending on how uncomfortably low or high your Chiang Mai table/bar stool is. While the Nextstand is significantly cheaper, the Roost packs noticeably smaller, which is useful if your one-pocket travel backpack is stuffed with a tea maker that you inexplicably carry with you. Also, the Roost stand adjusts to the laptop with springs, and the Nextstand has little pads that you get stuck in and might lose at night in Bali. While the Nextstand is very similar to the Roost, I would argue that the Roost clearly outperforms it in both packability and the ability to adjust grip without the use of external pads. Plus, Roost is original, and with your $35-a-day income, an expensive laptop stand is a totally worthwhile expense. See you at the coffee shop bro before the owner kicks you out for sitting 8 hours and only ordering 1 coffee and 31 beers.
