In the UK, hybrid working has swiftly become the norm. Statistics confirm that nearly a quarter of adults in the workforce split their time between home and the office.
Most people in that situation will be keen to keep work and personal life as separate as possible. But, some people won’t have the space or budget to set up a home office free from household distractions.
Aldi has confirmed that its newest range of “game-changing” SpecialBuys has been made with remote workers in mind. This selection hits the shelves on February 16, offering shoppers a wealth of budget-friendly gadgets to streamline their work-from-home setup, whether that’s nestled in a cosy nook or sprawled across the kitchen table.
A noteworthy highlight ideal for both hybrid workers and those constantly on the go is the Portable Monitor (£79.99). Sporting a 1920 x 1080 resolution on a generous 15.6-inch display, the monitor connects with laptops, tablets, or smartphones using mini-HDMI and USB Type-C ports.
Its ‘slim and lightweight’ build is a bonus, making it easily portable in laptop bags or travel cases, reports the Mirror. Opting for Aldi’s offering could mean substantial savings for customers, particularly when similar models from big-name brands can set you back more than £200.
To further boost on-the-go productivity, Aldi’s tech lineup also showcases a Laptop Stand (£5.99). This ergonomic and robust aluminium accessory ‘amplifies comfort for any workspace’.
On top of that, hands-free communication gets upgraded with Aldi’s compact Phone Holder (£5.99), a convenience-focused piece engineered for ‘effortless’ screen engagement. Aldi is also offering a 3-in-1 Wireless Charger (£12.99) that promises to keep your devices powered up on the move.
The charger is compatible with smartphones, smartwatches, and earphones. The device provides a ‘neat and efficient charging solution’.
The supermarket’s range also features Posture Trainers (£3.99). This simple strap is designed to combat the poor posture many Brits are developing from increased screen time and desk work.
Many people are spending eight or more hours a day glued to their computer screens for work, and then additional time on home computers, tablets, or mobile phones. This is leading to a painful condition known as ‘tech neck’.
As always with Aldi’s Specialbuys, once they’re sold out, they won’t be restocked, so those interested should head to their nearest Aldi store promptly to avoid disappointment.
