Hi Ace,
I also prefer a laptop for practicality, but the only one I can stand is a 4.5-year-old Acer... in the meantime I've bought another one second hand (not easy to find!) just to have one once this one crashes!
I've tried 5 different new laptops 2 years ago: IBM, hp, Apple,... and theyall got me sick (even without typing on them and with Wi-fi disabled).
I think laptops somehow emit more harmful EMF for me...
I seem to have less problems with desktops. Maybe it's because a laptop is closer to the body but I'm not sure that's the reason why...
If you would find a laptop you can bear it is advisable to hook up a portable keyboard, otherwise you receive a lot of EMF just by typing.
Maybe if there are people you know that have laptops you can test them first? I asked in the computer shop if I could test some different laptops for 20 minutes/laptop in my car...
Good luck, in the meantime I'll have a cactus up for a test ;)
Best regards,
Stephen.

The idea may not be all that ridiculous - although this doesn't account forhow ridiculous you might *feel* for surrounding your computer with cactus/cacti, lol. I haven't tried the cactus-method myself, but it has been my experience that putting things on or near my computer to try to make it moretolerable only has a limited and/or temporary effect. (The things I've tried may have only had a placebo effect.) Granted, I've only tried a couple of "devices", so there might be something out there (Q-Link Pendant?) that I haven't tried that has a long-term, consistent effect.
