Different computer cart sizes

Choose a laptop cart for the office, school, or home that's lightweight for tight maneuvers. Alternatively, select a large, durable desk with wheels that can fit dual monitors, a full tower, and still have room for a compact printer. Check the unit is height-adjustable. This is important if the user isn't an average height or wants to use the desk for sitting and standing. If you only need room for a tablet or small laptop, consider a computer presentation stand. Stylish, lightweight, and height-adjustable, these carts are excellent for speeches and similar professional presentations. You can also travel with computer carts for school by picking one that folds or breaks down to fit in a vehicle or for storing after use.

Laptop cart features

Several types of mobile workstations offer fixed and adjustable shelves to store important documents, books, and writing implements. Other features include a full keyboard and mouse tray with ergonomic padding or a built-in power strip to keep monitors, speakers, and the tower plugged into a central location. For extra space, browse units with retractable side tables.

Laptop cart construction

The construction of mobile storage units needs to be sturdy to endure the stress of constant movement. Although steel and aluminum are the most popular, durable wood and laminate options are also available. Another option is a combination of materials such as metal with laminate, wood, or plastic.

Basic carts without storage consist of a tray and pole with a base on wheels with simple height adjustments. Models with storage can come with three wood or metal sides and an open front for easy access or a door that latches or even locks. For secure storage, choose steel walls. Simple mesh units are open and allow the workstation plenty of airflow to reduce the chances of overheating.
