Have you ever felt eye strain or wrist discomfort while using a laptop? If so, it might be the result of poor ergonomic design. When it comes working on a laptop for a large portion of the day, ergonomic design can improve comfort and even productivity. Read on to learn more about what kinds of ergonomic design features to look for when choosing a laptop.

If your screentime often spans throughout most of the day, a laptop with an OLED panel is a good option. ASUS Lumina OLED panels emit up to 70% less blue light than IPS panels, thanks to the special organic lighting materials used in them. They are also TÜV Rheinland and SGS certified for low blue light and no flickering. This helps with reducing eye strain over prolonged periods of screentime.

ASUS Lumina OLED laptops have a higher brightness perception than traditional LCD screens while maintaining vivid colors, so when you’re viewing with an OLED screen you feel like you’re viewing the same brightness at lower nits (nits is a measure of brightness). Black on an OLED screen appears darker because the OLED pixel behind that region of the screen is turned off completely when a black color is displayed. These combined factors result in less eye fatigue and less blue light exposure over time.

ASUS laptops such as ASUS Zenbook A14 (UX3407) have ErgoSense touchpads that include many ergonomic details. When it comes to tactility, the ErgoSense touchpad is covered with a high-end PVD anti-fingerprint coating that ensures excellent resistance to wear and tear.

Feedback and scrolling space also contribute to comfort during laptop usage. ASUS Zenbook A14, for example, features an enlarged ErgoSense touchpad with a 0.23mm click depth that provides great natural feedback.

ASUS ErgoSense keyboards are made with precisely calculated key bounce and travel distance between keys. The key caps on ASUS ErgoSense keyboards are large: with 19.05mm key pitches, they are the same size as desktop keyboards. This enables comfortable typing.

Along with being comfortably spaced, the key caps have tops that are dished at 0.1mm. This curvature matches the shape of fingertips, providing ideal contact points with keys. For further ease and comfort during typing, ASUS ErgoSense keyboards have a 1.3mm key travel.

The EasyLift hinge used on the ASUS Zenbook A14, for example, allows users to open the laptop effortlessly with just a single finger. This hinge is engineered precisely for optimal torque, and it allows for the laptop to stay steady and wobble-free during use.

Staying cool to the touch—even under heavy workloads—is another important quality when it comes to user comfort. To achieve outstanding heat dissipation, ASUS incorporates innovative design features into laptops. For example, the grille design used in the ASUS Zenbook S 14 (UX5406) is precisely CNC machined to enable enhanced airflow—so it’s a functional aesthetic feature. The Zenbook S 14 also includes two super slim dual fans and an ultra slim vapor chamber. All of these factors combine to keep the laptop at low operating temperatures with minimal heat emission.

Ceraluminum™ is a high-tech ceramic material developed by ASUS that is lightweight, durable, great at resisting scratches, smudges, and wear, and feels like stone to the touch. This innovated material comes in colors of Zabriskie Beige and Iceland Gray, which are nature inspired colors and are soothing to look at. The entire exterior of ASUS Zenbook A14 is made with Ceraluminum™ that has a pebble-like, cool tactility. This material embodies the sustainable, calm, and immersive brand image of ASUS Zenbook.

Ease of portability is a key concern for people who are constantly on the go. ASUS laptops are designed to be thin and light—making them easy to transport. Weighing less than 1 kilogram, the ASUS Zenbook A14 is an excellent example of a featherlight Copilot+ PC that delivers outstanding mobility.

Laptops are personal items, and because they are typically used often and over a long period of time, ergonomics can make a significant difference. This is why it’s important to consider key ergonomic designs features. To learn more about ergonomic ASUS Copilot+ PCs, click the button below.
