Laptop keyboards are terrible when it comes to ergonomics. The cramped size, straight rows and short keystrokes are a prescription for injury. I think from a business standpoint, office workers account for a sizeable portion of the market The screen is at the wrong height for comfortable use. Either the head is looking down, straining the neck, or the keyboard is too high, staining the arms, wrists and/or elbows. Might be fine for occasional use, but for extended periods, it is asking for trouble. > I am in Southern Cal where electricity isn't cheap.
