Laptop Ergonomics: Issue
Laptop Ergonomics: Issue
The built-in screen and keyboard can lead to poor posture, such as neck strain, due to inflexible positioning.
Laptop Ergonomics: Solution
Laptop Ergonomics: Solution
Using separate peripherals allows for customized placement, promoting better alignment and comfort.
Laptop Screen Height
Laptop Screen Height
Elevating the laptop screen to eye level prevents neck strain by encouraging a neutral head position.
Study Notes
- Laptops can cause neck strain because the fixed screen and keyboard force users to position the screen too low
- Alternatively, users compensate by elevating the laptop for better screen height, resulting in an uncomfortable typing position
- Employing an external keyboard and mouse enables improved posture adjustments
- Elevating the laptop screen with a stand or docking station helps align it with eye level
