This is a terrible argument to justify a poor design. There are plenty of times you need to use a laptop in non-ideal situations, such as a car or plane. The laptop should not punish you for having to operate it outside perfect conditions.
- jacobolus 7y agoThere is no condition where you should have your forearm digging into the front edge of the laptop. If you come up with a body shape and context and I guarantee you we can come up with a more comfortable way to position the laptop than anything requiring wrists bent downward. This is not about the design of the Macbook: the same goes for any other laptop, however smooth and soft its front edge might be.
- fiblye 7y agoMaybe you shouldn’t do it. But it happens. You also shouldn’t drive your car into other cars. But we still put seatbelts and bumpers on for those who do.
- tenaciousDaniel 7y agoI misspoke in my original comment. What I should have said was "wrists" instead of forearms. I don't place my forearms on my machine.
- ysavir 7y agoIt isn't justifying it. This is not an either/or situation. We can both have smoother laptop edges and be mindful of our typing posture.
- arcturus17 7y agoThis was not framed in any shape, way, or form as a justification to the MacBook design. OP just provided some related and useful info.
