The Kensington ClipNGlow Task Light and Copyholder is one of the most affordable ways we know to reduce the hassle and strain of on-the-road computing. Although not strictly an ergonomic device, it does a good enough job of reducing awkward motions and postures to earn itself a spot in our story.

The ClipNGlow is a USB gooseneck lamp that you can attach to the top of a CRT or clamp to a notebook's LCD. A second clip lets you suspend documents in almost any position, eliminating the contortions that are often necessary when working on a plane, in a waiting room, or in the back seat of a cab. When not in use, the entire assembly collapses into a tiny, featherweight package that fits easily into most notebook carrying cases.
