what laptop did you eventually settle on?

I liked Phil Mendelsohn's comment that if you keep your wrists up; it makes
a world of difference in wrist strain. This goes along with my experience
that keeping one's hands in line with one's arms, makes the difference in
getting or not getting wrist strain.
But as someone else pointed out, yeah; it takes a lot more effort. :)
