Adjusting your computer to t you
Because your computer enables you to work in so many places, it is important that you remain attentive
to good posture, good lighting and proper seating. Refer to the following tips to improve performance
and achieve greater comfort:
Active sitting and rest breaks: The longer you sit and work with your computer the more important it is
to observe your working posture. Following “general recommendations for maintaining a healthy working
posture” on page 83

that it can easily be repositioned on your working surface to accommodate many posture modications
you might wish to make.
Work area setup options: Familiarize yourself with all of your ofce furniture so that you know how to adjust
your work surface, seat, and other work tools to accommodate your preferences for comfort. If your work
area is not in an ofce setting, be sure to take special note of employing active sitting and utilizing work
breaks. Note that there are many ThinkPad product solutions available to help you modify and expand
