Rob, who has been a member of the Louisville Geek family since our inception in 2004, primarily focused on servicing our customers who primarily work from home, so he knows a thing or two about what it takes to setup the perfect home office. For many of us during this time, having a dependable machine and reliable internet connection is essential if we want to remain productive. The way you set up your workstation impacts your work performance and even your job satisfaction. Finding the right arrangement for your desk can streamline productivity, boost confidence, and help you feel happier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/contact-us\/\">Louisville Geek is available for remote consultations to configure, purchase and install your custom work-from-home workstation.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4c90x6-5181cbfb0fbbc41575f9694aa8997e7e\">\n.flex_column.av-4c90x6-5181cbfb0fbbc41575f9694aa8997e7e{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"laptop\"  class='flex_column av-4c90x6-5181cbfb0fbbc41575f9694aa8997e7e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-k9k7b71b-99c78b7fa64485a284466f991b709211 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><h2>Laptop<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1212\" src=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dell-5500-15.6-Laptop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"701\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dell-5500-15.6-Laptop.jpg 743w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dell-5500-15.6-Laptop-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Dell-5500-15.6-Laptop-705x485.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dell Latitude 5500 &#8211; 15.6<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 8th Generation Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i7-8665U Processor<\/li>\n<li>Windows 10 Pro 64bit<\/li>\n<li>Up to Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i7-8665U Processor with Integrated Intel\u00ae UHD 620 Graphics<\/li>\n<li>Up to M.2 512GB PCIe NVMe Class 35 Solid State Drive<\/li>\n<li>Up to 16GB, 1x16GB, DDR4 Non-ECC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4mm6ka-5b20638b5ee4be7732c8feab3e052114\">\n.flex_column.av-4mm6ka-5b20638b5ee4be7732c8feab3e052114{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4mm6ka-5b20638b5ee4be7732c8feab3e052114 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-k9k7b71b-99c78b7fa64485a284466f991b709211 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><h2>Router<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1234\" src=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/work-from-home-router.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"655\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/work-from-home-router.png 655w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/work-from-home-router-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Louisville Geek has relationships with many of the industry&#8217;s top manufacturers including, Ruckus, Sonicwall, Netgear and Ubiquity.
