2. Choose a comfy chair. Firm, adjustable chair with lumbar support is highly recommended, as you could set the chair according to your own condition.
3. Keep right sitting posture all the time and remember not to slouch on the seat. That posture is ugly and unhealthy.
4. Make use of separate keyboard and mouse. When you do that, you will find that your eyes, hands and arms is not as tired as you only use laptop.
5. Place your laptop notebook computers on a stable base. The best place to place your laptop is a stable desk.

If you are on the road, try your best to find a place with steady base, if not, you would be weary of using your notebook and steadying the base at the same time.

So if you are not a frequent business traveler, you could consider choosing a laptop with large screen, like 15" and 18".
7. Be certain that you could clearly see the characters and pictures on your laptops’ screen. Don’t be fooled by the sellers’ pictures or characters they put on their sample products on the market, bring some pictures and articles by yourself and try it on the laptop that you intend to buy.
