Small Laptops Help In Relief For Lower Back Pain

Among the many benefits of using small laptops in your daily life is its lack of weight. This is especially true for those suffering from lower back pain. Seriously, I have personally experienced this. I find that small laptops do indeed help in relieving lower back pains.

Once upon a time, I used to lug around on my back a 14 inch notebook, every day to and fro the office. In the beginning, I was so happy with the notebook for it was a HP workhorse with dual core cpu and 2GB RAM. Back then, I couldn’t care less about the weight of that unit.

At any one point in time, I will be carrying roughly 5kg of weight on my back. 3kg comes from the notebook alone. the other 2kg from the power cords, extended battery pack, and other whatnots in the notebook case.

After months of carrying the 5kg load, I began to feel the burden of the weight. That 5kg no longer felt light. I was beginning to feel slight pain on my lower back. My shoulders would be somewhat sore upon reaching home.  The excitement of having a powerful notebook began to dwindle.

I was wishing for a smaller and lighter notebook. However, back then, the new small laptops or netbooks were still not available. Smaller and lighter notebooks cost a bomb, back then.

However, things changed in 2008. The Small Laptops now better known as Netbooks hit the market. Small in size and light in weight. The perfect solution for people like me who was tired of the heavy burden on my back.

At the moment, a typical netbook weighs in at about 1.5kg or less. That’s basically more than half the weight of a typical notebook. Trust me, carrying these small laptops on your back surely beats carrying the old heavy duty notebooks. I actually don’t feel the weight of these netbooks at all.

I am now free from sore shoulders and the lower back pain has somewhat lessened. These new small laptops certainly did relief my lower back pain problem to a certain extent. It may not have been built with that in mind. However, for those of you out there who are like me, these small netbook machines are certainly a joy to work with. I find the Atom and 1GB RAM is really a worthwhile compromise to a pain free lower back.

No more 3kg + on my back. What about you? Ready to throw that heavy weight off your back? Grab yourself a small netbook laptop and be rid of that aching back for good.
