Depending on where I'm sitting, it can be convenient to set my laptop on my lap or legs while I'm using it. Often I put a flat metal baking pan, or sturdy cardboard under it to avoid blocking its ventilation ports (as well as to redirect its heat away from my legs, but that doesn't seem to work...)
After a certain amount of time, it always makes my legs start feeling a slight burning sensation. They keep tingling long after I remove the laptop. I suppose it may only be heat from the laptop, even though this laptop rarely gets very warm. But I also suspect I'm getting radiated by being so close to the battery and shifting electric fields. I wonder if it could cause cancer. It's not enough to make me stop putting the laptop on my lap. But I should get something thicker to put under it, I suppose.
