Solved! holding a 2 in 1 screen at certain angle

[codan]

New member here. I have a Dell 2 in 1 laptop.

I need to be able to hold the screen at a fixed angle so that I can draw on the screen and type on the keyboard
1) while the laptop is completely folded over, with the keyboard face down on the table;
or
2) while the laptop is open in normal position.

I don't want to hold the entire laptop at an angle on a stand, just the screen.

Basically I can accomplish what I want by rolling up a small towel and stuffing it behind the laptop screen, but surely there's a more elegant solution.

Any solutions exist?

Thanks,
CODan

What exact laptop do you have? If the screen is folded, it's flat, when it's open it should have a stand on the back to adjust angle.

Other than those positions you just need an adjustable laptop stand, plenty of those around. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FTB2D5...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== and similar products.

Dell Latitude 9410 - there is no stand behind it - this isn't a Surface tablet. Only friction and the weight of the base holds it open.

\\ <- represents the screen
===== <- represents the base

When it's on a table, in the normal position, I can't really effectively draw on the screen because drawing on it pushes the screen down, overcoming the friction.

When it's on a table, in tablet mode (keyboard on the underside) I can draw because the screen is flat. But I'd prefer the screen be angled, which would make better viewing.

A lot of dell tablet systems have a rear stand but those are the ones with detachable screens. All the ones we have at work, 7200, 5290 models, have a stand.

Not much you can do for this aside from building your own bracing like a kickstand with rubber feet for traction, something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZJQ6MJ...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
