I've used the HP Touchpad for a week now and I have to disagree with his claim that the ergonomics are better. OSHA says that screens should be at eye level. If you're sitting up straight, there's no way a tablet will be at that level. Tablets requires the user to be looking down at his lap constantly.
And if you're not sitting up straight, then your back will complain bitterly, if not now, then a few years later.
- pohl 15y agoMost of my tablet time is flat on my back with my iPad held above me. Admittedly, not much better. I posted this on the throne, as it were.
- gurkendoktor 15y agoRegarding posture, I use my tablet mostly like other people hold their book or magazine. At least it can't be less healthy than what those oldfashioned people are doing (in reasonable lighting).
