Using a Notebook Computer
Maintaining a high level of comfort when using a notebook computer may be more challenging than when using a desktop computer. Therefore, you should be especially alert to your body’s signals, such as any feeling of discomfort. Also, be sure to adhere to the key principles presented earlier in this Section.
The following strategies are intended to help you maintain comfort when using a notebook computer:
On the Road
In a hotel, use a blanket for padding your chair and a rolled towel as an inventive way to support your lower back area.
Seeking Comfort
When working with a notebook computer, keep your shoulders and neck relaxed and your head balanced over your shoulders. You may find it comfortable to periodically use a support surface (your briefcase, a bed table, firm blanket, pillow, or large book) between your lap and your notebook computer.
