Some additional notes from reading other comments. I feel the way I wrote the post make it sound as if I'm fine with any setup which is not true.

- Lower than normal desk height is more comfortable.

- Lower than normal chair height is more comfortable.

- Using a laptop is tiring unless it's on a desk.

- Using a laptop on my lap in a couch gives me neck pain.

- I should preferably not have to tilt my neck to look at the center of a screen.

- Using a macbook trackpad over extended periods of time can give me some wrist discomfort. I find myself often twisting and cracking my wris if I don't use a mouse because of the discomfort.

- Some chairs work better than others but I'm not sure what it is. Price does not seem to correlate at all.

Somewhat related:

- Sleeping on a pillow that is too tall gives me neck pain and headache. (from staying in hotels, friends, family, etc)

- Sleeping on very hard mattresses is preferable over soft. (seems more common in asia)
