This is great thinking. To quote Emmy’s recent article, Why sit up, when you can lay down? Which I have since learned, the title refers to a Churchill quote where he was asked, “to what do you attribute your success?” “Conservation of energy – never stand up when you can sit down, and never sit up when you can lay down.” Genius.

Among many other aspects and nuances of laptop design and engineering covered in the class, one group of students investigated the physical ergonomics associated with the use of smaller computing devices, and discovered that a conventional small clamshell laptop is most comfortably used lying down, with the device on the thigh and the knees kept elevated.

I completely agree. This is how I work every morning as soon as I wake up. I even found the article while laying on my couch with my legs propped up. Now while I will likely never buy the Laptop Laidback, I’m certain there will be times where I wish I had it.
