Here atLaptopical we have always been concerned about our readers'ergonomics, that is, exactly how well their notebooks aredesigned not only to look good, work well, but also to be used bya human being. When a laptop's ergonomics are bad, for example,you can suffer backaches, neck pains, and other healthboo boos. The problem is-most laptops have bad ergonomics.
To use one on a flat table, for example, you have to move yourelbows away from your body to get a better angle with your typingfingers. You may not know you are doing this until it's toolate-until your back and shoulder muscles start to get tired.
