It turns out I have been a bit spoiled. The only laptop I’ve ever owned has a rubberized, slanted design, and even the front edge is angled down. I knew it helped with comfort, but apparently, it makes a big difference.
Since most laptops aren’t like this, what do you all do for comfort? Why aren’t there more products to help with this? It seems like the only options are big wrist rests for mechanical keyboards.
Amazon doesn’t have much (as usual), but I found something like this:
I do not even game, but this laptop had everything I wanted—total overkill, but $1k for a 13900HX, 4060, a color-accurate 16" screen, and insane build quality? Worth it, even if it hurts your wrists!
It’s weird how there’s such a gap between gaming laptops and thin, hot ultrabooks. Who decided non-gamers want thin and light? Why push harder-to-make devices? I’d go the opposite way.
“Here at Fat Laps, we embrace bigger laptops—cooler, cheaper, and easier to fix! What are you gonna do with a half-inch laptop, anyway?” cuts to a guy slicing an apple with one
Portability is a laptop’s main selling point you want something you can carry with you everywhere. Nobody enjoys hauling around a big, hefty machine. If you are looking for a powerful, well-cooled device that you can use at home, a desktop PC is definitely a better option.
Portability is the main goal of a laptop—you want something that you can carry with you wherever you go. Nobody likes to carry around a big, heavy machine. A desktop PC is definitely a better option if you require a strong, well-cooled system that you can keep at home. Simply get a stand if comfort is a concern for you
If you do not like mechanical keyboards, get a stand or a low-profile keyboard with a wristrest. Alternatively, do what you suggested and cut up a mouse pad or something similar and place it on if you carry it around a lot.
The MacBook Air I own reddens my wrists. To round the edge, I applied several smooth pieces of transparent tape. You can add more layers, but I just use three. I tried electrical tape, but it comes off too easily and is too grippy. Regretfully, it appears rather unattractive.
