> 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.
