Using your tablet more comfortably

With the help of all the conveniences and powerful features of your tablet, you can carry your tablet all day long for work or entertainment at many places. Therefore it is important that you remain attentive to good posture, good lighting, and proper seating to achieve greater comfort with your tablet.

Active sitting and rest breaks: The longer you sit and work with your tablet the more important it is to observe your working posture. Make minor voluntary postural changes and take frequent, short breaks when you use the tablet for a long time. Your tablet is a light and mobile system; remember that it can easily be repositioned to accommodate many posture modifications you might wish to make.

Work area setup options: Familiarize yourself with all of your office furniture so that you know how to adjust your work surface, seat, and other work tools to accommodate your preferences for comfort. If your work area is not in an office setting, be sure to take special note of employing active sitting and utilizing work breaks. Note that there are many ThinkPad product solutions available to help you modify and expand your tablet to best suit your needs.

Explore your options for docking solutions and external products that can provide the adjustability and features that you want.
