If you are using a laptop on your desk,
elevate it so the screen is at eye
level ( A ). Then plug in an external
keyboard and pointing device ( B )
so you can type without strain.

Laptop Stands

The design of laptops violates a basic ergonomic requirement for computers: The keyboard and screen should be separated. If you place your laptop at a comfortable viewing height, your arms will be forced into an uncomfortable cramped posture to reach the keyboard. Conversely, if you place your laptop with the keyboard at a comfortable arm height, the screen will be too low and force your neck to bend awkwardly for viewing.

A laptop stand with an external keyboard and mouse provides a healthy ergonomic solution for laptop users.
