Using Your Computer Working in Comfort with a Notebook PC • Try to type as lightly as possible. The notebook keyboard requires little force to activate. • Take frequent, short rest breaks–this is especially important in a mobile computing environment. • Portable computers weigh between approximately 1.4 and 3.7 kilos (3 and 8 pounds). When traveling, be sure to carry your computer properly to minimize strain on your body. Shift the bag containing your notebook equipment frequently between your left and right hands and shoulders.
