Lift Those Notebooks
If you use a notebook or laptop computer, and you leave it on for quite a long time, have you ever noticed how hot the bottom gets if you use it on your lap? (There are other reasons not to use your laptop on your lap, which is why they're now called notebook computers. We won't go in to what those reasons are here).
Even if you use your computer on a desk, table, or other flat surface, the heat is still considerable. It's a good idea to purchase a stand which will allow your notebook to have air pass underneath it. A bonus is that your hands are angled, relieving tension and avoiding carpal tunnel difficulties.
