Laptop Users Avoid Awkward Working Positions

Tags:

March 2005-- There are a reported 60-million laptop computers currently in use in the United States and 150 million worldwide. Laptop users are from many walks of life from college students to company executives and the number of body postures used while working at a laptop varies just as much. Using your notebook computer on your lap while sitting on an office chair or stool is an unsuitable position. It is now recommended to place your notebook computer on a stable workspace. Proper body posture can increase comfort and reduce stress that laptop users face. Now new technology is addressing the need of proper workstations for laptop computer users.

Notebook computers were originally designed for short-term use by business travelers on the go but as technology has improved, more and more people are using laptops as their primary computer. Notebook technology is a terrific tool for use but the postures that people conform to while at the computer can be uncomfortable at best. Many people use their laptop in current workstations that were originally designed for larger computer units. Laptop users can also be found slumped down at a table in their workplace or at home in an awkward position on the couch. The technology of the angle chair now allows laptop users the opportunity to avoid many uncomfortable sitting positions with the use of an optional laptop tray that attaches onto the chair.

The angle chair embodies the concept of healthy movement by allowing the user to be able to move from a sitting position to a reclined standing position. "Dynamic posture shifting can increase comfort and productivity," states Lisa Beringer of HealthPostures "The laptop tray moves with the angle chair giving you freedom from your stationary desk." The combination gives you a chair that supports your body and a workstation that helps avoid unhealthy postures.
