I'm new to the group, but this thread is in-line with what I've been dealing with so I figured I'd share my history as it may help someone out. I'm inthe information technology industry so staying away from PCs is hard :)

I am sensitive newer machines (desktops or laptops) so for the last 5 yearsor so I've been using an older Toshiba Protégé M200 Table PC. To get more processing power I use Windows "Remote Desktop" to connect to more powerful machines that are in different buildings. So far this has been working great, but I continue to look into whether I'll ever be able to get a faster laptop. Here's what I've tried:

1. Had to give my Toshiba M200 back to my previous employer three years agoand I purchased an AMD Dual Core driven HP Laptop and found I was sensitive to laptops for the first time (was already senstive to newer cell phones so I had an idea of what was going on). I returned it.
2. I then tried a Lenovo X200 Tablet (had dual core Intel processors) thinking it may be the processor brand and found I was sensitive to that.
3. I then tried a newer version of the Toshiba Protégé (had Dual Core Intel Processors) thinking it was the brand of PC, but I still had issues
3. I ended up buying a used Toshiba M200 Tablet like I had at my previous employer which I still use now
4. Purchased a Compaq Presario driven by a Intel Celeron for my wife and I have no issues so I thought maybe it had to do with the processors and the new ULV processors would be better when they came out (they weren't released yet)
5. Recently purchased a Lenovo with ULV processors and although my sensitivity is not as bad as most other machines I still have issues (enough to keep me looking)
6. I love the Lenovo so I sent the laptop to http://www.safelevel.com/ for shielding to test that out, but it didn't seem to help. They shielded the Low Frequencies so I'm assuming since I still have issues I'm sensitive to higher frequencies. I'm going to continue using the Lenovo for now in hopes I adjust to it…..wishful thinking I know.
7. As a final test on determining if it's based on processors I just ordered a Dell using an singe core Intel Celeron processor...I'm hoping I'll be able to use that and I'll let everyone know the results once I get it.

So in summary, I have no solution yet other than a work around by using an older machine and if you need more processing power find a way to store a high powered machine somewhere else and leverage "Remote Desktop".
