There’s a lot to be said about the benefits of working from home. You get to skip the commute, you save money on transport and lunch costs, and you don’t have to deal with the distractions of open-plan offices.
However, those of us that work from home either full-time or part-time will be aware of one drawback – the need to create a suitable setup that helps you keep productive.
If you don’t have the right setup, you may struggle to streamline your workflow and could experience the discomfort of neck and back strain. At the same time though, many companies will only supply a laptop and not the extra accessories you may need to work effectively from home.
This means you have to balance affordability with functionality when fitting out your home office. Luckily for you, WINX has some accessories that do just that – offering cost-effective solutions that are easy to use and will help elevate your home office to a productive, comfortable space.
Here are seven work-from-home essentials we recommend for those who work remotely:
1. DO Ergo Multi-Adjustable Laptop Stand
Made from lightweight aluminum and featuring a foldable design, this WINX laptop stand will help beat the neck strain that comes from craning over a laptop all day.
It’s sturdy enough to support laptops with displays of up to 15.6-inches, but also has a hollow design and light frame that allows for optimized cooling and easy portability.
Anti-slip pads on the feet of the stand mean that you don’t have to worry about the DO Ergo sliding on smooth surfaces. Meanwhile, the adjustable angles mean that you can get the right position for your height and preferences.
Whether you’re working from the dining room, your home office, or a coffee shop, you can trust this laptop stand to make your setup as comfortable as possible.+
2. WINX DO Simple Wireless Mouse
While laptops offer great portability, using their touchpads for long periods of time can impact your productivity and lead to wrist strain.
A cost-effective wireless mouse like the DO Simple Wireless Mouse lets you enjoy the precision and convenience of a mouse, without worrying about tangled cables.
Simply plug in the receiver and enjoy a connection that can work from up to 20 metres away. Besides its comfortable and ergonomic design with six buttons, the mouse also features an impressive battery life.
Equipped with a manual on/off switch and the included AA battery, the mouse’s battery life can last up to 18 months.
3. CONNECT Max 7-in-1 Type-C Hub
Another struggle you may encounter when working remotely is running out of USB ports on your device. With the WINX Connect Max hub, you get an array of ports that connect via a USB-C adaptor.
Ports include a Gigabit Ethernet port, a Type-C Power Delivery port, a 4K HDMI port, and two USB 3.0 ports. The hub also comes with an SD and TF card reader slot.
The device is compatible with both Windows and macOS. And with up to 100W delivered through the power delivery port, you can also charge additional devices by hooking them up to the hub.
4. WINX CONNECT Simple 4 Port Hub
If you need a few extra USB 2.0 ports, the Connect Simple hub provides four.
Aimed at providing a compact and simple connectivity solution, the hub has wide compatibility and a data transmission speed of up to 480Mbps. So, whether you’re connecting some peripherals or external storage, you can expect a decent connection speed with this affordable gadget.
Speaking of peripherals, the WINX DO Simple Wired Numpad offers a cost-effective solution for people whose job involves number crunching.
The accessory provides a slim and travel-friendly design that means it is easy to slip into your laptop bag. And with its plug-and-play functionality plus the inclusion of a backspace key, the numpad is a handy, convenient device for those who need to fill out spreadsheets while working remotely.
6. WINX LINK Seamless Type-C to 4K HDMI Cable
Nothing quite amps up your productivity like an additional large display. With the LINK Seamless Type-C to 4K HDMI Cable, you can easily hook up your laptop to a display while enjoying a great resolution.
The 1.8-meter cable allows you to easily connect to an external display, mirroring your device or creating an extended desktop – depending on your preferences.
The cable will definitely come in handy for those working from home. But you can even use it with phones and tablets or as part of your entertainment setup during your off-time thanks to its extensive compatibility.
Need a simple and lightweight headset you can use for virtual meetings? The CALL Clear USB Headset provides all the essentials, such as a noise cancelling microphone with an adjustable gooseneck, comfortable earpads, and in-line controls that will allow you to easily adjust your volume or mute your mic.
If you want an affordable but effective device for your Teams and Zoom calls, this headset provides a great option.
