This is important information to read before using your ThinkPad computer.
Working while "on the go" may mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Following some simple "rules of the road" will make things easier and bring you the maximum benefits of your ThinkPad computer. Keeping in mind such basics as good lighting and proper seating, for example, can go a long way in helping you enhance your performance and achieve greater comfort wherever you are.
What if I am traveling?
It may not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using the ThinkPad computer while on the move or in a "casual" setting, such as the seashore or on a mountaintop. Sometimes, your lap may be the only "desk" around. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips for proper usage as possible. Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, will help you maintain desirable comfort and performance levels.
Questions about vision?
IBM's visual display screens are designed to meet the highest standards and to provide you with clear, crisp images and large, bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes. Of course, any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision care specialist for advice.
