What if I just use my laptop's built-in display?
Many of us use laptops as our sole PC. Their portability and flexibility mean they're a favorite of everyone from business travelers to the casual couch surfer. But, if you ever find yourself consistently using a laptop in a single location, particularly a desk or work table, just about all of our categories here will be useful for you as well. Stand and mounts can be purchased for laptops too. In fact, Amazon makes its own laptop mounting tray (linked below in our alternative products) that can be added added to any monitor arm with adequate weight limits. Simple monitor risers can be just as useful as laptop stands as well, helping us avoid the dreaded hunch mentioned early on in this guide. Similarly, creative professionals that work from a laptop will still want accurate colors, and everyone still wants a clean screen. While not every single device here may be useful for a laptop-only setup, many are. So it's still well worth thinking of your notebook PC's display as the monitor it is. You may find you can accessorize it with something incredibly useful, just like your desktop-using counterparts can.
