Best way to solve wrist strain with any computer is to position the
keyboard and mouse or the laptop in a manner that keeps your wrists as
straight as possible, and avoid resting your hands on the keyboard.

If you're using a mouse, keep your wrist fairly straight, and try to
use your whole arm to move the mouse.  Using your wrist alone is just
begging for carpal tunnel syndrome; just your forearm for tennis elbow.
