You won’t be able to set a laptop on any elliptical. Get an ipad because most ellipticals will have a small ledge you can rest a flat screen on. That’s what I did.

Find something on Marketplace or Craigslist. Don't know any machines that let you set up a laptop, except maybe a walking treadmill.

Join a gym.

I need to get some movement in, and I think that watching shows while on the elliptical (with the easiest settings) may help.

Please recommend a budget elliptical. I am looking for basic, but decent quality. Need to be able to set my laptop on it to watch shows - that will be my motivation.

If you did something like this, have you ended up using the elliptical as you had hoped?

Thank you!
