Notebook computer {Notebook computer}

The present invention relates to a notebook computer. More specifically, the position of the monitor on the second board can be changed so that the monitor height of the notebook computer can be adjusted to the user without a separate cradle and a keyboard, thereby maximizing the portability of the notebook computer and various kinds of computers including turtle neck syndrome. The present invention relates to a notebook computer that can prevent related diseases.

Computers have become a necessity for modern people. It's no exaggeration to say that in the office, computers are used in almost everything from basic paperwork to presentations and database construction. In addition, computers are used in home shopping, home banking, etc., and most of the home appliances that are released these days have embedded microprocessors and memory in an embedded form.

As the portability of computers is emphasized according to the modern life patterns, various kinds of notebooks are released. Notebooks are widely used for overseas business trips because they are easy to carry and easy to operate.

However, the laptop is structurally close to the distance between the monitor and the keyboard, there is a problem that a significant burden is applied to the shoulder and neck when looking at the monitor screen while working on the keyboard. In particular, long-term use of these notebooks may cause symptoms of turtle neck syndrome. Turtle neck syndrome is a condition where the neck of a person looking down at a monitor lower than eye level for a long time bends forward like a turtle's neck.

The main cause of turtle neck syndrome is looking down at the monitor. The first time you look at the monitor in a correct posture, the more time passes, the more you will lean your head forward and eventually change your posture. If the head continues to bend forward, the upper part of the spine will be stressed, and the muscles and ligaments at the back of the neck will stretch and suffer.
