Ergonomic laptops causing laptop ergonomics problems

Posted By: Vikas Shekhawat | Apr 22 2006

Running after the sleek and the compact, most of us don't have any idea how heavily we're taxing our bodies. In an effort to create something out of the box, laptop ergonomics is always sidelined.

An ergonomically perfect system must never have the keyboard and the screen intact together, but we hardly find latest computers offering any such privileges to the users, ultimately causing ergonomic disorders. In a fixed design, where the keyboard is coupled with the screen, the user can never have optimal position of both at the same time.

Laptops are basically designed to cater the traveling community but today they've become ubiquitous. The increasing demand too has triggered the concept of churning out more compact and smaller laptops completely eliminating or rather killing the need for any laptop ergonomics. If you're an occasional user, it's perfect to use it the way you like, but if you're addicted to it, then you're simply inviting problems.
