Hi, Rticle,
 
I have no info as to the person or laptop you are referring to, but I do also remember someone--I think it has been in the past 6 months--who mentioned such a laptop.
 
I have a laptop that I was able to tweek into submission, of sorts.  I still have problems down and uploading and with sites with streaming video--Ijust avoid these (or leave the room during up and downloading).  But my reactions to my laptop otherwise are minimal now on the whole.  (I groundmyself after using it to discharge any energy I have taken on from it, butotherwise do not react badly unless I am detoxing alot.)  I removed the cards--broadband and wifi--and tweeked various hardware and software settings.  For instance, I had help to negate all start-up and close-down functions that could be bypassed safely.  And there are multiple modem settings that were changed. 
 
I bought a Dell laptop that had 30 days software and 1 yr hardware tech support.  I called the Dell techs and they worked with me almost everyday for the 30 day period till my support ran out.  I could have called for more help if I needed it regarding the hardware, but that was the first thing we worked on.  I was truly surprised at how open-minded they were and how much help they were.  The last tech I had--the day my support ran out--was truly upset I was not going to be able to call back if I continued to have problems!  I was initially afraid that these guys would think I was a pain in the neck; but they were very patient and understanding.  I formerly had tried a Toshiba and the tech support was useless--I returned that laptop. 
 
That said, initially I had a great deal of problems with the laptop and could only be in its presence about 45 mins before I was totally undone, mentally and physically.  I found it necessary to make an aluminum foil shieldand hat to wear just to work on the thing! 
 
Good luck--hope it works out for you,
Diane

Hey everyone,

As I continue on trying to find a way to run a computer fully on 12V DC, I keep hitting blocks. The hardest one is trying to find an external monitor that can accept 12V DC power - the PC itself isn't an issue to find - either a laptop, or a mini, fanless system.

However, if I had a mini, fanless system, I would still need a monitor, which would have to be run with AC power, or an outrageously priced 12V LCD designed for cars and boats, and I'm not able to drop one or two thousand bucks on a ten inch screen!

So, if I can't find a way around that, it might mean a laptop. Unfortunately, laptops, from what I've heard, can have pretty bad emissions. Better on battery, of course. Still, probably not that good, though, at the distance you use them at. I could help this by using an external keyboard and mouse,but the screen on a laptop is smaller, so I can't sit as far away from it.

So! - I need to know if anyone knows of anybody who can do a really good job of shielding a laptop, from escaping magnetic, electric, and RF fields. Ithink, quite some time ago, I read on either emfrefugee, or eSens, of someone who was very happy with the work a company in Europe did on their laptop - they were quite sensitive, and were fine with the system after the modifications.

Anyone know who/what I mean? Or are there any other people you might recommend, if the laptop route is the way to go?

(I have looked at the really small web notebook type computers, but the battery life seems crappy, and they may not be fast enough to do some of what I do - audio and photo work).

Thanks!

R.ticle One
