While (ironically) that is exactly the La-Z-Boy from which I watch television and sometimes sleep, it would be an ergonomic disaster for me to work from it.

1. I have a (really) long body and (freakishly IMO) short legs (as in my wife is 6" shorter than me but still has longer legs). If my arms were extended down to the arm rests for typing, fuggedaboutit, I'd be crippled in a week.

2. Due to uncorrectable vision issues, I have a 30" monitor roughly 1' from my face. I would barely be able to read text on the monitor setup you have.

3. Can't use a mouse, can't use a kinesis keyboard sadly.

4. Haven't been able to use laptops effectively for 15+ years. Ironically, tablets are no problem. Go figure that one out.

That said, we seem to share a passion for hoarding gadgets.
