I expected this to be about ergonomics, which laptops are anything but.
I have seen too many people working on laptops ans getting hurt (hands, back, shoulders, etc). I'd start with a foldable keyboard which expands into something big and comfortable (I have RSI!), and a detachable screen which can be set higher on the desk.
- rollcat 6y agoMy ideas exactly! I was just sitting in the bed today with a laptop (normally using a desktop) and thinking how nothing in this device really makes any sense wrt ergonomics, it's not really possible to use it for more like an hour or two without getting really uncomfortable. I've accidentally bumped into r/cyberdeck today (not ergonomic at all but provided some inspiration), and now this thread. How would you go about designing a portable computer that's also more ergonomic to use? How would you raise the screen? How would you split/tent the keyboard? What steps would you take to reduce wear / risk of damage on moving parts?
- 6510 6y agoIts official! Ergonomics are not considered because the most basic demands (keyboard an monitor position) are nowhere near where they should be. Whatever one tries to design besides those is nonsense. The article is nonsense.
