Along with the increasing popularity of laptops because of hybrid classes, the number of laptop desk applications is on the rise. As a result, the structure of laptop desks is constantly evolving to satisfy new aesthetic, ergonomic, and
functional requirements. Uncomfortable seating and improper posture can negatively impact health and productivity. This prototype demonstrates an innovative workstation design intended to increase the comfort of a user working
for extended periods. To improve the comfort of students who spend extended periods of time at their workstations, it is proposed that they use a new sort of ergonomic workstation that combines a fixed and revolving table with two
additional pull-out tables. In addition, the designers provide the users with built-in sockets, storage, and luggage hooks. The three types of workstation tables (fixed, rotating, and pull-out) are determined by analyzing the various workstation positions and sitting positions of potential users. Users can adjust the positions of workstation components. Using human subjects and ergonomic principles, subjective and objective evaluations, including a comparison between the
prototype and standard computer configuration, were conducted. The results demonstrated that the new workstation is significantly more pleasant, providing the body with balanced support. Users can extend and relax in a variety of working
positions before experiencing discomfort; as a result, they are able to work for longer periods without strain, resulting in increased productivity.
