laptop recommendations?

I am thinking about replacing my desktop with a laptop that I can use
on battery. Has anyone tested laptops to see which ones are better?
or has anyone switched from a desktop to a laptop and found it helped?
my current computer set up seems to aggravate my symptoms, I wake
every night (about 1:30 am )for several hours and also have stomach
cramping. I am trying to figure out the cause. We've been sleeping
with the breakers off for almost three months and still my sleep is
not restored. The sleeping problem started 9 years ago and was
intermittent (usually at most ten days a month) but I've had only two
full nights sleep since we turned the power off.
thank you!

It'd make more sense to blame a wireless phone, wireless home alarm system,
wireless internet, local cell/radio/tv towers, etc. Perhaps even a
highspeed internet connection or cable TV...

Someone on this group did post something along these lines, and
for some reason they felt HP was the brand to get from an ES
standpoint. Here is that message:

I have certainly seen variations from one laptop to the next,
although I personally have found that a desktop is a better
choice from an ES perspective, as you get further away from
the components.

I have a Dell laptop & find it much better than a desktop - quieter fans & something about those tower cpus made me sick. I just keep the wireless turned off.

HP and Gateway make laptops that use core solo
ultra low voltage CPUs (U1400, U1300 - 5 watts).
I havn't tried one yet, but they are worth a look.
Gateway E100N, HP NC2400.

I bought an HP Turion equipped laptop which burnt
me up even on the battery. So laptops are not necessarilly
the best solution. You can at least get some distance from
a desktop. How about a mini mac? They use a laptop CPU -
lower power.

Hi
I thought I'd let you know that am doing quite well with my Mac iBook
G4 which I bought from the guy at safelevel.com He shielded the
components that radiate magnetic fields with mu metal for about $200
extra bucks. I can tell a big difference between using it and using
my old Mac ibook. I simply don't turn on the wireless option which
can sometimes pick up a neighbor's signal and am fine with that.

I also put my feet on a grounded mat that I bought from
lessemf.com I can last a lot longer at the computer if I do that.
When I was at my most snesitive I also used the grounded gloves from
lessemf, and wrapped myself in a metallic cloth, but don't need them
now.
All the Best!
