Handling Your Computer
Ruggedized Mobile Computers
Some professionals work in environments that may require special
ruggedized features to protect their computers from extreme
temperature, humidity, and physical punishment. Construction,
public service, distribution, repair service, and utilities are some of
the environmentally demanding professions that may require rugged
mobile computers that can withstand stresses. For these
applications, IBM offers such computers (not Thinkpad systems),
especially designed for mobile professionals who need a system for
managing and communicating information from the field.

Ergonomics Information
This is important information you should read before using your
portable ThinkPad notebook computer in your “virtual office.”
Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent
changes in your environment. Following some simple “rules of the
road” will make things easier and bring you the maximum benefits of
your ThinkPad computer. Keeping in mind such basics as good
lighting and proper seating, for example, can go a long way in
helping you enhance your performance and achieve greater comfort
wherever you are.
What if you are traveling?
It may not be possible to observe the best ergonomics practices
when you are using your ThinkPad computer while on the move or in
a “casual” setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many
of the tips for proper usage as possible. Sitting properly and using
adequate lighting, for example, will help you maintain desirable
comfort and performance levels.
Questions about vision?
IBM's visual display screens are designed to meet the highest
standards and to provide you with clear, crisp images and large,
bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes. Of
