  Carry your laptop in a wheeled case or a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a sturdy hip belt.

Well-adjusted chairs will improve your body position, improve your blood circulation, reduce muscular effort and decrease pressure on your back. Make sure that your chair is adjusted to suit your requirements (a gas lift chair is best for this). Your back should be straight and your feet should be flat on the floor or on a  footrest.
 You should be able to adjust your chair to ensure:  Your feet can rest comfortably on the floor or on a footrest
