Ergotron Workfit Computer Workstation Review

The Ergotron Workfit computer workstation allows you to work at your computer while standing or sitting and changing between the two is so easy. And allowing you to change working positions provides some great ergonomic benefits.

The Ergotron Workfit is a transforming computer desk. This workstation does a couple of things. It holds all your computer hardware (computer, keyboard, mouse, dual monitors) on a wheeled structure that allows you to move it around wherever you need it easily. And more importantly it lets you raise the entire setup from a sitting height to a standing height with just a slight touch. A tray for the keyboard and mouse slides in for compact storage and out for inputting data as well.

It does all of this while maintaining a good ergonomic computer setup. And it expands the places and ways you might interact with a computer in the course of a day.

One increasingly common use for the Ergotron Workfit computer workstation is in hospitals. Computing stations can now be rolled right into the patients room for electronic medical filing then stored conveniently in the hallway. It allows the medical staff to enter data while standing, or for longer work times they can pull up a chair. This increases the medical facilities productivity and accuracy which is something we can all benefit from.

That's just one example of how the Ergotron Workfit's increased mobility shakes things up. But the Workfit is still right at home in the office or cubicle allowing the seasoned desk jockey new freedom from their office chair.

The Ergotron Workfit deliver with strength and functionality.

The first thing I noticed about the Workfit is that it is tough. The support beams and mechanisms are strong, really strong. The monitor mounts will hold your expensive dual flat screens without any fear of damage. And the tension mechanism that allows the main shaft to move up or down can support those large, high definition monitors without a problem.

In use the Ergotron Workfit requires very little force to move and is intuitive to operate. You can roll the entire computer setup over to the window, sit and work for awhile, then stand up to stretch and bring the working surface with you. And it is easy to do.

The Ergotron Workfit computer workstation can benefit anybody who works with a computer. It can benefit a lot of others as well.

The computer user benefits from being able to change their working position at will. Computing while standing, or changing between sitting and standing every so often, provides an immense ergonomic benefit. Computer users can also benefit from the mobility, being able to move there desktop setup around somewhat like a laptop.

Businesses and institutions can benefit from the Ergotron Workfit computer workstation in a number of ways as well. By placing computers where the data is gathered you can remove a couple of steps in the process increasing efficiency and productivity. It is true that laptops can do this, but working on a laptop has a number of drawbacks.

Furthermore the employees can work more efficiently and in a healthier body position at the Workfit.

It is also possible to mount different display types for special application (like electronic X-ray viewing).

The Ergotron Workfit computer workstation is a good ergonomic solution to a number of computing issues. You might be surprised how much you'd like working standing up, even for just a few hours a day. And the Workfit is a cost effective solution when compared to an adjustable desk.

One minor drawback has to do with the ergonomics of the monitor placement. The Workfit does allow you to keep the monitors at least 20 inches away from you, but you can not get them much further back from that. But that's true with most desks anyway.

The Ergotron Workfit comes in a variety of configurations that support one or two monitors and/or a laptop.

The Ergotron Workfit is a high quality piece of hardware built for daily use without degradation. In short it is a good computer workstation that provides some unique ergonomic benefits.
