I’d just visited the masseur yesterday to get myself a massage for my head and shoulder. I’m one of those geeks who need to work extensively on my laptop.
And in long run, I develop tiredness and pains over my neck and shoulder. As I’ll always need to keep my neck bending little downwards for long hours.
When you have full concentration on your work, especially dealing with some computer programming, you’ll need to have the laptop screen to be closer to your eyes.
As a result, you’ll need to have your neck bending towards the notebook screen, which will get your neck and shoulder to develop certain stress after several hours of working on the laptop.
It’s different from working on a desktop computer, which you can have your eyes looking little upwards or straight to the screen, so the stress on your neck is less. But we want portability, so a laptop has almost become the only computer that we use these days.
I’ve been introduced with the Neo-Flex™ Notebook WorkBase, which is a package that provides much better ergonomics for those who work extensively on a notebook. The package has an adjustable laptop stand, which you can fix your laptop on. And it allows you to tilt to different heights and angles to suit your viewing on the laptop’s screen. So having this stand you should be able to adjust the best position that doesn’t bring much stress to your neck and shoulder.
And also included in the package are a plug-and-play wireless mouse and keyboard, so you can freely adjust the space and position you need for your work, getting the best position that doesn’t impose stress to your body.
The Neo-Flex Notebook WorkBase is fairly easy to install, which is compatible with all computer laptops with or without docking station. Plug your laptop with this Neo-Flex stand for a better portable and productive work-area and simply unplug it when you’ve got to run.
