Computer
If you work continuously at home, you need a fixed computer, a so-called desktop PC. This is not absolutely necessary, but in the long run it will be more comfortable than a mobile device. When buying a desktop PC, you should choose a powerful one, which will be the center of your workspace.
Mobile device
If you are one of those commuters who regularly switch between home and office, a notebook is clearly the better choice. You’ll always have all your important documents with you, even when you’re on the road.
Second monitor
WOnce you start using a second monitor, you’ll never want to limit yourself to just one screen again. A second monitor makes multitasking a breeze. For example, you can participate in a video conference and work on documents at the same time
Mouse and keyboard
Of course, the touchpad of your notebook is sufficient for on the go. At a fixed workplace, this could become a bit unwieldy in the long run. Therefore, you should buy a real computer mouse. And you should combine it with a comfortable keyboard to give your desk that office feeling.
Mouse pad
Mouse pads seem to have become superfluous for many people. However, the handling of the most modern laser mouse can be significantly improved if it is used on a mouse pad.
Webcam
If you work in a home office and have a lot of contact with your colleagues, you won’t be able to get around a webcam. At least not if video conferences are on your daily schedule. You should go for an HD webcam with an integrated microphone.
Multifunction printer
If you can’t do without paper in your home office, you’ll need a printer to print or scan important papers. A multifunction printer is the right choice here. It’s best to pay attention to ink consumption when buying one, so you don’t have to keep investing in new toner cartridges.
Desk
Of course, you’ll also need a large desk if you want to work ergonomically and without tension in your home office. After all, you’ll want to have somewhere to put the equipment I just mentioned so that you can use it properly. If your space is limited, it’s best to choose a desk with a pull-out keyboard tray.
Office chair
If you spend several hours a day in front of your desk, you’ll also need a suitable office chair. Look for an ergonomic model that will help you avoid unpleasant back pain.
