Using a Laptop Mouse
Although laptops come equipped with an integral mouse, for prolonged usage it is best practice to use a separate mouse.
If the laptop mouse is to be used then it is advisable not to screw up the fingers into a claw position or hold them in the air. Hands should be kept flat and the fingers relaxed when using a trackball, glide pad or nipple operated mouse.
The Laptop Screen:
Glare and reflections on a computer screen should be avoided wherever possible.
A laptop should be positioned such that these do not occur.
Where a window is causing reflections then the laptop should be re-positioned.
If there are curtains or blinds to the window these should be used.
The angle of the screen can affect the amount of glare and reflection that can be picked up. A compromise may have to be made between glare, reflections and the most comfortable viewing angle. If a free standing monitor can be used either with or without a docking station then this can be much better.
The laptop screen should be kept clean at all times.
