CPU holders come in various forms for offices, work environments, and vehicles. The best option depends on individual needs. Safer mounting equipment is available, including carts that support monitors and keyboards. Vehicle laptop holders should be flexible but using them while driving is dangerous.
The computer has become ubiquitous in our lives and this has resulted in a wide variety of central processing unit (CPU) mounts being available in the market. CPU holders are made for offices, other work environments and vehicles. Exactly which CPU mounting solution is best for you depends on your needs. Most people will find the floor standing models sufficient, but others may want a wall mount to save space under their desk or table. If the job requires standing and moving around, a fully mobile cart solution would be best.
When most people think of a CPU holder, they imagine a cheap plastic device that holds their full-sized desktop tower under their desk and doesn’t have much more capability than holding the tower upright just a little more firmly . If it’s bumped hard enough, the tower will collapse, which is never good for hard drives and other components. Also, the way many CPUs are built makes them very heavy because more disk drives are placed towards the top of the tower. Old plastic window frames are simply not enough in many situations.
Much safer mounting equipment can be used. A CPU holder can be as simple as nylon straps or as complex as mounting to a vertical pole. Others screw under a table. The traditional method of placing the CPU under the desk can now be accomplished with fixtures that hold the tower tightly and offer some cable control.
CPU-mount carts also support monitors, keyboards, and mice. Some require that the keyboard have a touchpad or other pointing device built into the keyboard. More sophisticated carts also support multiple monitors.
A variation on this theme is the vehicle’s laptop holder. These mounts should not require any drilling to install. The type that mounts under the passenger seat using the existing seat bolts work best. The downside is that the mount must be made for your vehicle model and not all models are covered.
The vehicle’s CPU holder should be flexible enough for both the passenger and driver to use the laptop. Keep in mind that driving and using a laptop at the same time is very dangerous. Pulling over and parking before using your laptop is the safest thing to do and avoid any conflicts with laws regarding the use of electronic devices while driving.
