Why the PowerBoard Can Work for You!

As a Contract or Temporary Worker:

Moving from one desk to the next for your job can leave you at a less than optimal desktop computer workstation setup. With the PowerBoard, any station can be modified to suit you individually.

In Your Home Office:

Most home office setups consist of makeshift desks or tables and chairs that don't optimize the position you should be in while computing. And who wants to mar the surface of an antique desk by attaching the hardware of an articulating keyboard tray? The PowerBoard does not require any screws or nails.

For Families and Students:

Multiple users can easily use the PowerBoard and since it is positioned on the user's lap, it fits all users. Families with children can all use the PowerBoard and each member, young and old, can adjust easily to be ergonomically correct.

Students can use the PowerBoard because it is easily transported. Students often use their schools' computers and then have a computer at their dorm or apartment. The PowerBoard can be taken to both places with ease. The PowerBoard is ideal for school computer labs where many children of different sizes use the same computer set-up. The PowerBoard is a low cost solution in modifying the computer station to fit every user.

Tele-Commuters:

Employers are responsible for injuries sustained by telecommuters working at other sites, and are well motivated by new ergonomic and OSHA standards to invest money in ergonomic equipment that can be used effectively to prevent RSI, no matter where their employees are working. However, because of the costs involved with this mandate, employers may be reticent to buy more than one of the same items to modify multiple work sites for one employee. The PowerBoard offers a low-cost solution.

No modification of the workstation is needed when using the PowerBoard. The only other piece of equipment that can be adjusted to a negative tilt is an articulating keyboard platform that has to bolted to the underneath of the work surface. The PowerBoard is ideal for home computer workstations, which may be a kitchen table or an old desk, and are difficult to modify.
