LDLC.com: your computing solution for home office!

To avoid commuting, work in peace and quiet, be more independent or be there for a delivery, there are many reasons to start teleworking! Working from home has become increasingly popular in the service sector, but you need the right equipment to be able to work comfortably and ensure the same level of productivity as in the office. PCs, laptops, peripherals, chairs, printers, webcams, office furnishings... At LDLC.com, you'll find a selection of computing equipment to help you work from home and create a workspace that's as practical as the office!

The perfect teleworker's kit

Once you've made sure that your company offers a VPN-type solution or that you can easily access your business software remotely and have a sufficiently stable connection, it's time to look at the choice of hardware for teleworking.. In most cases, it's advisable to recreate the same type of setup at home as at the office, so as to retain the same physical and visual cues.

• • While your computer equipment should be able to keep up technically speaking, comfort is an essential factor if you want to work at home for hours and hours without breaking your back. So first and foremost, choose an ergonomic office chair in which you can sit comfortably.
• •  Another element not to be overlooked: the monitor! While dual-screen monitors are becoming the norm in the workplace, they can be expensive to install at home. At the very least, choose a screen that is well suited to your profession: a monitor for graphic designers for example, or an anti-blue-light screen for office use.
• • To keep in touch all day long, you can go for a dual-SIM smartphone that lets you switch easily between your personal and business calls..
• • Finally, choose a keyboard and mouse to suit your preferences. To make things easier for you, go for a keyboard and mouse pack: sets from as little as 10 euros!

Which laptop should you buy for your home office?
If you don't need a speed demon, a good PC for home office use is characterised by its autonomy and its connectivity, especially if you want to add a second screen, several peripherals or connect to your box via Ethernet. HP, Acer, Asus, Lenovo - all these brands offer Windows laptops with excellent value for money. You can also opt for a tablet with keyboard for occasional teleworking or if you often work on the move. Some professions prefer to work in the Apple environment. In this case, the 13" Macbook Air remains the reference for its performance and compact size.
