I’ve liked the idea of tablet PCs since I first found out about them, since they give you the option of alternating typing with writing on the screen. Last year, when I needed to buy a laptop, I thought about getting one. Ultimately, their price (twice as much as comparable laptops I was looking at) at the time deterred me. Also, since writing will sometimes bother my hands, I wasn’t sure the tablet PC would do much from the RSI point of view. Still, many of the models coming out today have reviewers mentioning the pluses of their ergonomics. (Of course, that’s become a word that people throw around without thinking much about what it means these days.) Still, here are a few reviews that mention ergonomics if you’re browsing this shopping season:
