I'm sitting here with my keyboard in my lap. I've recently noticed it is a lot more comfortable too. I'm alternating with keyboard on lap to mouse on lap depending on what I'm doing.

This hands at lap level seems crucial, I don't know how I've missed it for so long. However a laptop doesn't strike me as ideal unless coupled with a monitor at eye level as I'd be looking down constantly.

I tend to lounge when I work (it's why I mentioned the chair) and the top of the screen is about at eye level.

I guess I'm advocating lounging too...hmm, maybe I'm not the best person to give advice.

Anyway, the trackpoint [1] on the keyboard makes a mouse unneccessary. Trackpads are ok, but still require fingers to move off the home row.
