Hi Svetaswan,
About the laptops, it might be worth trying the low voltage processors... Me, I haven't come up with any recent laptop that works for me. Immediately I get a headache... Last week my client took his laptop... ouch!
The only thing I know for sure is that it is best to actually try before buying and all the rest is speculation... ;)
So what works best for me is my 4.5 year old Acer (Travelmate 240; 2.60 GHzand 750 Mb Ram) or I think (new) desktops...
Recently I was with my graphic designer, he has two new Apple/Mac and I stayed quite close to the Mac's for at least 4 hours and I was fine or at least not having the immediate headache as with new laptops.
If you don't necessarily need a laptop, I would definitely advise a desktop... Even if it's harming you as much as a laptop you still can put the desktop further away from you...
For any laptop you would use, always hook up an external (non-wireless) keyboard (much less emf whilst typing).
David has written good things on the desktop from -Asrock:

> 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.

Before this laptop, 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 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 whetherthese "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 who are far more knowledgable than I am seem to believe that these low-voltage processors would help. Eli recently submitted a post that listed exactly which processors to look for.
