Ergonomic Laptop Accessories
E-mail Print Link It's a scenario every laptop owner fears:
dropping your portable computer en route to your destination
and causing permanent damage.
Unfortunately, that's not uncommon. Based on may be claims
handled by computer the ideal insurance agency Safeware
Inc., in 1996 accidental damage to laptops increased 45
percent over 1995. Although you can't prevent theft or
natural disasters, some accidents - such as having your
computer slide off your lap and fall to the ground - are
avoidable. That's the idea behind ergonomic laptop
accessories. Here's a sampling:
* Legtop Podeum Pro: Gone are the days of hunching over a
laptop perched precariously on your lap. Rach Inc.'s Legtop
Podeum Pro comes with a padded, built-in carrying case that,
when unfolded, straps the laptop to your thigh. No matter
where you're sitting, the Legtop Podeum Pro provides a
hands-free ergonomic solution that goes where you go. Cost:
$99.95.
* Comput ERGO: For those who need more space for their work,
the Comput ERGO from Neutral Posture Ergonomics Inc. may be
the ideal solution. It's narrow enough to fit through an
airplane aisle and resembles a suit-case when folded. Once
opened, however, an entire workstation emerges: a work
surface for your laptop, two foldout wings for your mouse
and documents, a file organizer, and retractable power
cords. Your laptop secures to the work surface, which
adjusts to two heights. Cost: $985.
* Field-Pro: Who says you can't input data and walk around
at the same time? It's possible with Pit Bull Chains'
Field-Pro, a portable computer support system that attaches
a laptop work surface at your waist. This product gives
users mobility and saves time, too - no more waiting to
input information you've gathered in the field until you're
back in the office. You can even run through the airport
while wearing it. Cost: $169.
