Best computer for in bed ?

Hello,

There is always a chance that one might become sick or hurt or something and
needs to stay in bed for a while.

Taking a desktop PC into bed doesn't really sound like a good plan, it's too
big !

Thus I am wondering what other kind of PC would be best for in bed ?

So far I am thinking maybe Microsoft's Surface/Tablet is a good candidate...

It's not out yet, and the metro interface needs to get used to... but at
least it's a modern piece of equipment which should be sufficient for a
while.

The attachable cover/keyboard seems a bit big though... so perhaps without
it and using on screen keyboard it’s still usuable.

I would need to lay on my side to avoid pain thus my head would be
tilted 90 degrees because of laying down.

I am a bit hesitent/relunctant to bring a PC into bed, because it screws
with my brain, it associates thinking/computering with bed.

I would like to keep my bed a place for rest and piece and quietness. Also
using the brain requires a lot of energy/power which might prevent healing
of the body.

Also to much movement could also be bad for the healing process.

On the other hand... getting out of bed to sit behind the desktop PC might
be bad as well, maybe even much worse.

Then again computering in bed could effect sleep. If that happens dizzyness
could be a result of sleep-deprevation and even knocksouts so that's very
dangerous as well.

So far there seem to be two surface computers, one with an arm chip (windows
rt) which doesn't need venting (?) and one with an intel chip which does
need venting (a sleeve) (windows 8 pro).

I am a bit worried that the intel version would get clodded up with dust and
hair and other bed particles... however the intel version is a bit more
powerfull.

The double wi-fi antennes that both models have also worry me a bit, since
they would be near my head a lot... or near my body...

I am hoping to get better soon, that would be for the best.

However I do feel a bit sorry for people who have to stay in bed a lot which
can't move a lot... for them... a desktop pc is not really an option.

Thus maybe a surface might be an option, or maybe some kind of glasses, that
can be worn, and then eye moves or eye blinks could be used to navigate and
click and stuff.

Wearing glasses in bed isn't too comfortable but it's better then a surface
I think, since that still requires too much mussle power and odd positions
of arms and hands etc...

I think my conclusion is simple:

For people in bed a different kind of computer is required.

Bye,
Skybuck.

What about using a projector for the video output. You could project the
screen image on any wall, or the ceiling, depending on what is most comfy.
Use a wireless keyboard and/or mouse. I think there is something that can be
used with one hand, or even with head, eye, and mouth movements, or voice
recognition, for various physical disabilities.

Hope you get better soon. I may be having hip, knee, and back operations in
the near future, and a compatible computer will be a high priority. I have
an Archos 7 Internet tablet that is a nice size and is OK for many things,
but probably not serious applications for my work as an electronics design
engineer. I like the games, but I'm happy with solitaire, finger pool,
finger bowling, tetris, and such. I'm not into high-end gaming like you

How about a telegraph key for one-handed operation?
