I suspect if it was an IT issue courtg9000 wouldn't have any issues. The issue is that it's a physical issue and it's hard to identify decent disability advice and suppliers from complete cowboys (for that area has more of them than even the umbrella industry).
It is definitely not a tech issue. The MS Surface is fine for my needs.
It's wanting to appear as normal as possible to be honest (this is my preferred method, before having my house look more like a hospital wing! - it does already but you get my point!) hence my original look at Amazon.
I probably will end up talking to my preferred specialists soon.

For instance in IT support I had a user with poor vision and screen readers are a maze to get just the right one for the problem in hand. They are also quite expensive so don't get the wrong one advice is handy.
Its always best to ask a mechanic what cars he recommends and why, even if you fix your own.

I would suggest you find a disability shop (I know, I know) and get some advice

Maybe give up on a laptop as such and use it with a big 4k tv with a wireless keyboard & mouse? Possibly a fixed joystick in mouse mode.

Do you want something on casters that's height adjustable so you can move it around and change the height to match where you're sitting? Would you want a section of the table to tilt to present your laptop at an angle to make it easier to type?
Something like this perhaps?

I can't use a standard desk anymore for reasons of discomfort owing to disability and have been looking at these things.
I currently have my laptop (Ms surface) perched on my lap with my phone, folder and tablet perched next to me on a sofa and I would like a better solution.
Do my learned friends have any suggestions please?
