Thread: Aches and pains from using netbook?

buy an iPad,

^ Why? Doesn't it promote gayness?

I've no experience with the ipad but i don't see it as being very practical as i do a lot of typing.

I review and send reports on engineering equipment so i think a standard lapdog might suit me better.

If you are doing a lot of typing there is no substitute for a decent keyboard.

I have the Asus eee which is 93% of a full keyboard and I don't have any of the symptoms you do.

How people can use the little seven inchers I'll never know (fnar fnar).

the ipad is fantastic as an appliance

and yes it promotes gayness, not necessarily bad

Fnar Fnar indeed - my seven inches works just fine.

I too have an Asus eee, and have done a lot of typing without too much problem.

As a thought, why not buy a full size usb keyboard for the serious typing ??? I've seen ones that you can fold up highlighted in computer magazines

Also, what are you doing differently to using a normal laptop or keyboard - this sounds like typical RSI, hand positioning is important (yeah, I know) to minimise this.
