Hi Stephen - you seem to be right in speculating that everyone is different. For about two years, I've been using a Dell Latitude D600 (laptop) that a family member brought home from his job. I found out that this particular model was released in 2003 or 2004, so I'm assuming that this particular laptop is around that age.

Well, I've had pretty significant/bothersome symptoms from this laptop thathas caused me to learn about electrosensitivity the hard way. Before thislaptop, I really didn't have any noticeable electrosensitivity that I can recall...I don't think I was even aware that there was a such thing as electrosensitivity!

So I've gotten sick/worse using a laptop that's older than yours.  

For myself, I just don't see how things could be much worse using a newer laptop. Lord help me if the newer laptops are somehow worse than this one!

As for your theory on the laptop processors - from what I've read or been told, some of the newest laptops use "low voltage" or "ultra low voltage" processors (such as some of the Intel Atom processors) that are supposed to emit less emf, and lead to better tolerance. So perhaps there are better options than there were even two years ago. My knowledge/understanding this subject is quite limited - so I can't speak with any certainty on whether these "low voltage processors" would "compensate" (and nullify the possible benefits) by using more of the bothersome, (super) high-frequency currents.I somehow equate "lower voltage" with "higher frequency". But people whoare far more knowledgable than I am seem to believe that these low-voltageprocessors would help. Eli recently submitted a post that listed exactly which processors to look for.
