"My preference is white wine (pinot grigio specifically) and I like it ice cold, so I prefer a stemmed glass so the heat from my hand doesn't warm the wine. . . "   

This is the reason for the stem, it's not just a pretty design element. Without the stem, heat from the hand can easily be transferred to the wine, even the reds, affecting one's enjoyment.  Contrastly, a brandy snifter allows the hand to warm the brandy slightly.

I sell Depression glass, Victorian, and even Waterford in an antique mall.  So I always have some odd stemware around here on a temporary basis.  I use this for dinner and sitting around  with N.A. beer or soda.  Even DH doesn't mind and he's your typical ham handed construction worker.  As far as the computer goes, I try to place my drinks on the table in back of me, or at least 18 inches away on the desk.  This glassware is getting remarkably cheap because so many people are moving away from it.

I am a stemless fan myself.  I have had these for a couple years now & love these!

Sensible advice, @depglass- keeping the liquid away from the computer is the first step!

I just put a low wooden stool by my "computer chair".  Even if I manage to knock the glass over I cannot ruin my new device.

I appreciate the fact of the design of wine glasses enhancing the experience of the vintage.  I'm not an aficionado.  I just enjoy the libation.🍷

I get my stem wine glasses from dollar tree. The manager said their glasses are Libby's glassware. My DD buys the stemless ones there also. I may buy a few just to find out if I like them. Stemless can be used for other beverages also.
