Remote working has exploded in popularity since the pandemic. Aldi has issued an urgent message for remote workers after releasing a limited new range. Working from home has exploded in popularity ever since the Covid-19 pandemic forced employers and their staff to make alternative arrangements to keep business ticking over amid lockdown restrictions. But working from home, although it comes with the benefits of more sleep and leisure time, also comes with its challenges. Adjustments have to be made to work spaces, equipment must be purchased, childcare arrangements must be made.
To respond to demand, Aldi has released an affordable portable monitor, which allows employees to take work with them on the go. Part of the award-winning supermarket’s new Working From Home range, the monitor features a 1920 x 1080 resolution 15.6 inch screen, and connects easily to laptops, tablets, or even smartphones via mini-HDMI and USB Type-C ports. The slim, lightweight design makes the device easy to transport and carry whether in laptop bags, handbags or carry cases, and costs £79.99.
The store describes the item as "the ideal solution for hybrid workers and frequent travellers". However, there is only limited availability, with the shop warning: "Workaholics had better be quick, as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone!”. Aldi’s latest tech range also includes an ergonomic practical laptop stand costing £5.99 and a phone holder also costing £5.99. Wireless headphones are available for £12.99 ensuring seamless connectivity to online meetings and calls, or for those who want to lock in and focus with their favourite music. An on the go 3-in-1 wireless charger is also on offer for £12.99.
