It is possible to reap the ergonomic benefits of a desktop PC, with just a few additional strategic purchases. These accessories are available relatively easily and cheaply, and will make your computing experience pain free.

Using your laptop on the bed, sofa, or a bean bag on a long-term basis are a guaranteed means to acquire all sorts of orthopaedic ailments of the neck, shoulders, and the back. While a coffee table is a definite upgrade, since it moves the laptop away from your lap and onto a stable work surface, it still lacks the shape and size necessary to accommodate all the upgrades and accessories needed for the desktop conversion.

Working from home entails sitting for at least eight hours. Budgeting for a decent office chair is critical to avoiding posture-related discomfort. Poorly designed chairs fail to provide adequate lumbar support, which results in slouching and back ailments. That also means avoiding gaming chairs, because these are notorious for causing neck and back discomfort.

The 13 or 14-inch display attached to your laptop is woefully small for long term usage. At the bare minimum, you need at least a 22-inch desktop monitor for a comfortable experience. Ideally, you are better off with 24 or 27-inch monitors. We have listed a few good affordable monitors in our separate article.

Most desktop monitors come with ample height adjustment to achieve that, but a separate monitor arm will allow you to raise, lower, tilt, pivot, and rotate your display in any orientation. Some aftermarket monitor arms also support multiple displays, which improve productivity.

Most modern mice use state-of-the-art optical sensors that can track reliably on all kinds of surfaces at high DPI (dots per linear inch) settings. You want a mouse that can support at least 1800 DPI because higher DPIs allow the mouse pointer to cover larger on-screen distances for relatively smaller real-world hand movements.

This is especially true when using a high resolution 4K displays and also helps mitigate computing hazards, such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and repetitive strain injury (RSI). In fact, trackballs are specifically designed to reduce hand movements and are an ideal option for those suffering from these occupational ailments.

Unless you are extremely short on cash, you should ideally opt for a mechanical keyboard. Unlike cheap membrane keyboards, these use spring-loaded mechanical switches that are significantly easier to type on. This reduces the force required to make individual key presses and go a long way towards reducing finger fatigue and the risk of contracting RSI.

Those who insist on using every single square inch of desk space might want to consider a slide-out laptop tray that can be mounted under the desk. This conveniently gives access to the power button as well as USB/HDMI ports on your laptop without taking up any desk space. Besides, having the laptop located under the desk is also great for keeping the mess of cables out of sight.

Throw in a 2.1 speaker setup, replete with a subwoofer, to add some infrasonic depth to action movies. At the other end of the spectrum, even the cheapest Bluetooth speakers will be a definite improvement over the stock laptop speakers. Either way, upgrading to any external speakers is highly recommended.

We have separated the display, keyboard, and mouse from the laptop and set it away under the desk. The next step involves hooking all these external components to the laptop. If you own an Apple laptop, you will need a dedicated dock to connect everything to it. Fortunately, regular Windows laptops have enough HDMI, audio, and USB ports to connect everything we need, in addition to an onboard SD card reader.

Under-the-desk cable raceways are simple and inexpensive means to keep the cable clutter out of sight. These come in various shapes and sizes and are large enough to accommodate even laptop chargers, in addition to hiding away all the cables required to keep your workspace running.

Although optional, this step goes a long way towards freeing up desk space by pre-emptively eliminating the tangled mess of cables. And this is all you need to do to transform your laptop into an ergonomically sound desktop-like setup.

My original thought was to plug the laptop drive into a windows desktop via an external USB enclosure and create the image that way, then transfer the working VM to the Mac. However, upon further investigation, it looks like VMware Converter only supports converting a local machine (the desktop) or a remote machine (via IP) but not a laptop drive plugged into the local machine. Obviously, if my original laptop was still functional, I could install and run vmware converter from there but that's not an option here.

We tried creating a new VM with both raw disk access and it's own virtual disk, cloning one to the other (using clonezilla) and then running the VMware convert utility on it, but that resulted in VMs which blue screened on boot, so that wasn't a solution.

We tried looking at the solutions on ServerFault for Convert a hard-drive into a VMware machine but most of those solutions had too little detail to get us past the problems we had with those suggested solutions.

We then created a one-off backup of each target hard drive (one for the desktop PC hard drive we had, one for the laptop hard drive), creating two recovery points. Then we performed a one-off conversion of each to a virtual machine.

We selected the option to Run Windows Mini-Setup and Split virtual disk into 2 GB (.vmdk) files. The former substantially reduces the time to get the resulting VM up and running, while the second allows you to transport VMs around on memory sticks that don't support >2GB files/

Note that we tried this procedure on a Windows 8 PC first, but couldn't get SSRSE to run after it was installed, so reverted to using a Windows XP machine (on the same hardware). We assume that when the trial gets upgraded from 2011 to 2013, this problem will go away.

Before this I've only ever virtualised running machines and the process has been quick and painless with VMware converter. I was amazed to find out that virtualising a dead system from it's hard drive alone would be so much more involved, I just assumed that VMware converter would just have an option to do it.

The process uses a browser-based application that will create scripts whose output you shouldfeed back to the browser application. The idea is to copy (dd) the raw disk to a file and thenbuild a VMDK file that uses that image as its disk.

Once you have done this, it is a matter of using the Ultimate P2V utility (linked at the end of the dd2vmdk article) to replace the HAL and prevent the bluescreen. Sadly the Ultimate P2V article is mostly hidden behind a registration wall, so this Bart PE forum post or this Guru-corner post might be more immediately accessible.

If VMware Converter running on an OS with this disk attached cannot do it, you may be able to find a free converter out there (see link below) to convert a disk with a NTFS, Fat32, or other filesystem to a VMDK file.

You would create a new Virtual Machine with the same operating system as the same type installed on your previous laptop. This will create a Virtual Machine that you can add a virtual hard drive(VMDK) to (in this case you would point the Virtual Machine to the VMDK file you created via "Edit Settings" on the VM).

What's nice about this is that inherently, it should pretty much always work and it's versatile and transparent. It also let's you modify the system as you would any hard disk before converting it back to VMDK.

Do you want to boot it, or just access the data? if its the latter, plug it into a USB drive caddy, image it with tools already in OS X, and access it as a disk image - i did a similar thing for a client, though using windows based tools - and OS X has most of what you need baked in - I'm not a mac user, but disc utility would likely do what you need if its a simple data recovery you need.

Question: I keep hearing about Digital Notepads and how you can take notes on the screen and it can convert to text and file it to where ever you want. I take a lot of notes in my line of work and have paper note pads FILLED with great information I have to sort and organize or go crazy trying to find what I know I wrote notes on. Before I buy another gadget does my touchscreen with stylus allow me to take notes and convert them to text? Or is there a reason that digital notebooks are a specialty and this laptop isn't good for that? I have to admit I use the touchscreen very little but that could be because I don't know best uses for it yet. This is my first lap top with a touch screen option. Any advice, tips or comments greatly appreciated!!!!

The HP Envy x360 15.6 Inch 2-in-1 Laptop with a touchscreen and stylus can indeed be used for note-taking, and you can convert your handwritten notes to text. However, the effectiveness of this process may depend on the software you use and the quality of the stylus.

While your laptop may not be marketed specifically as a digital notepad, it can still serve that purpose with the right applications and settings. Experiment with different note-taking apps and features to find the setup that works best for your needs. The touchscreen and stylus can be powerful tools for organizing and digitizing your notes, potentially saving you from the hassle of sorting through physical notepads.
