While height-adjustable desks continue to enjoy popularity, they only offer flexibility in the Z-axis. No one regularly moves them around in the X/Y, particularly not when they're covered in items that are plugged into the wall (as the desk itself may be).
Herman Miller has identified that lack of flexibility as an opportunity. They've thus designed the Passport, a small work table good enough to support a laptop and a latte.
It is height-adjustable, but because the table is small, an electric motor is not needed; instead pneumatics achieve the job. The user controls the height with a simple lever, in the manner of an office chair. Because the table is cord-free, as can be the laptop atop it, it can be freely rolled anywhere. For instance if you're working from home and would like to roll the laptop over to the kitchen, you can do so without the rigmarole of everything else on your desk. In a flexible office situation, you can easily shift to new locations as needed.
Available accessories include a bag hook and a privacy screen.
The Passport comes in two sizes: A Small version with a 22"x16" desktop and a 19" to 31" height range, and a Large version with a 27"x20" desktop and a 27" to 45" height range. Only the Large can be fitted with casters, which I think makes the Small much less desirable; the value of this desk is surely its mobility.

I'm confused by this one. A quick google search of "small height adjustable tables on wheels" reveals hundreds of options currently available to buy........ And this one has a price tag of $1,000. It almost seems like a joke.
