A chat with a cafe owner in Lisbon about my work setup

I was working from a small cafe in Lisbon last week, and the owner saw my laptop on a pile of books to get it to eye level. He said, 'Your neck will hate you in a year.' He showed me his own simple stand made from a cheap cookbook holder he got for 8 euros. It made me realize I've been so focused on gear for my work that I ignored basic comfort. What's the cheapest, most packable solution you've found for a better laptop setup?

My old yoga block works as a perfect little laptop wedge.

Nice, I've used a book for that before too.

You used a whole book just to prop up your laptop?
