Abstract
The invention relates to a computer device including: a main display screen (201); a computer (212) connected to the main display screen; a keyboard (206) enabling a user to transmit alphanumeric characters to the computer and disposed to allow the user typing alphanumeric characters to view the main display screen simultaneously, said keyboard including a geometric midplane which minimises the average distance between the keys of the keyboard and the midplane of the keyboard; a touch surface (213) which is not positioned against the main display screen, but disposed such that a user can point with his/her finger on the touch surface and simultaneously view the main display screen, said touch surface including a geometric midplane which minimises the average distance between the touch surface and the midplane of the touch surface. Moreover, said touch screen is not positioned against the image reproduced on the main display screen.
