Everytime i use my laptop on my lap my legs burn even though the laptop is not hot. The burning continues even when i have stopped using it. Has anyone else experienced this or know why this is happening?

Hi,
This might be because you are alergic to even the slight amount of Radiation. The liquid-crystal display (LCD) in most laptop screens gives off much less radiation than desktop monitors.
This radiation is also very minimum due to legal implications and the laptop computers are thoroughly tested for this.
However, the hard drive may still be a problem, because, due to Electromagnetic Fields, it rests "literally on the user’s lap at genital level." So, the possible reason is that you might be sensitive to even the slightest amount of radiation.
Regards,
Raghu.

I've heard that using a laptop on your lap kills all of the nerve cells in your thigh (possibly why they are now called notebooks so that people don't have them on their laps). If it has a wireless network connection, then there are microwaves coming from your laptop. Microwaves make water heat up and you contain a lot of water so your laptop might be boiling the water in your legs - OUCH! BURNS! (I don't think that the microwaves are strong enough to be as bad as I said they are.)

I have heard of cases where some of the very first ones did run very hot and burnt their users laps, but never experienced this. I also cannot concieve of how they could produce enough of any other radiation to have the same effect.
However, I always use them, whenever possible, on a desk or table, just in case they actually are somehow "microwaving my love spuds"!

Never heard of any radiation problem. They do however get warm underneath which is why the description has slyly changed from "laptop" to "notebook" - 'cos they're uncomfortable to use on your lap. Especially for us bigger boys.

This is a new one on me.
If they were harmful they wouldn't be allowed to sell them. Well that's what I hope!.
Maybe you could try using a wireless keyboard and mouse to keep the laptop away from you(not sure if you can plug a keyboard into a laptop as I don't have one).

Yes, but not enough to cause any type of damage. It is within FCC standards unless someone has tampered with the componets but I dont see why this would happen you may want to see your doctor.

I doubt it mate. If I were you I would stop hitting the bottle before you start using your lap top

lol, no.
I know it's called a laptop, but that doesn't mean use it on your lap for hours on end.
They do generate heat, some more than others, but you are not going to turn into the Hulk.
There's a laptop cooling device you can buy, such as:
