Laptops and computets are not ideal for contonious use. Incorrect ot inappropriate use of laptops can cause health problems. The laptops normally have an elevated and compressed keyboard, a small display screen that is at an angle, if they are otherwise in an entirely suitable workstation. Laptop Health Issues can result sometimes to chronic and longlasting diseases. Following is a list of some of the important laptop health issues :
Ergonomics of Use: laptops are often used on laboratory benches, unsuitable desks and tables at home, on trains or in hotel room with limited legroom, poor seating and incorrect screen positions. There are therefore a considerable amount of risk involved of developing a wide range of health problems from poor ergonomic environments.
Vision fatigue: laptops are often used extensively in environments which do not have suitable lighting. Additionally, laptops often have screens that are not as clear, stable or bright as normal computer monitors. It is possible that users may be exposed to a greater risk of developing vision fatigue as a consequence.

If you intend to work while traveling make sure the pointing device can cope with movement and vibration.
