Help for Sharp Edges
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Apple Store to try the new Macbook.
The screen is gorgeous, crisp, colorful and clear and a vastly welcomed improvement to the iBook's pale and difficult to read screen. Adjusting brightness levels may help reduce any glare or eyestrain problems.
The keyboard, with its reduced padding, feels like it was designed for stylish looks and not especially for long-term comfort. A workaround might be to reduce typing pressure and also to add an external keyboard for home use.
The palm rests are another story. They're an ergonomic catastrophe. The edges of the Macbook are so sharp that using the trackpad for a short while quickly induced pain in my hand.
Can anyone suggest ways to reduce edge pressure and sharpness and make an otherwise great laptop less ergonomically lethal to my palm and wrist? Thank you.
