Are Laptops safe to use whilst on your lap?



Answers:
Yes, but it's going to be a little hot after a while. It won't overheat since laptop all have air vent on the side and/or back.
There have been studies done on this for men. But for women it shouldn't pose a problem.
Not if you're incontinent.
not really they tend to get too hot and for men this can cause sterility. also it not the best ergonomic position for arms and hands etc. if its for a short time its ok but too long can be a pain.
no that is why they are called LAPtops
My lap top has it's ventilation fans on the bottom so placing it on my lap would probably block their air supply and lead to overheating of the computer. Not good. Check where yours are.

They'll do you no harm though.
Absolutely.
It won't travel at approximate vehicle speed as projectile until you are suddenly halted and laptop isn't. The proper thing to do is follow military artillery custom and loudly exclaim,
"On the way!"
There should be no problems with this so long as it does not get too hot you just have to be careful and also ignore all the people who are leaving silly comments this was a perfectly good questions you should always be careful.
Yes they are.

Just be wary of overheating and if you are travelling in a road vehicle as a passenger, the laptop isn't secured and in the case of an accident or sudden stop, the laptop could experience catastrophic damage or become a dangerous projectile within the passenger area.

Studies have shown that men can experience a lot of discomfort using a laptop as the heat generated can lead to problems. The effect is lessened for women but it's still not something to ignore. It's best for you (and the laptop) to have a smooth flat surface between you and the laptop - maybe a plastic chopping board or a hard-backed book.

But remember, this smooth surface will also become a projectile in the event of an accident or sudden stop.

If you are at home, just be sure that you are comfortable as you work. If you begin to experience neck pain or back pain, move your laptop to a table and take up a sitting position to reduce the effects. You may have to rest for a while otherwise you could still experience some discomfort and not think to link it to the position in which you were sitting.

If you are just checking a few things out and spending no more than 15 minutes to half an hour, I'd say you should be fine but for long term use, it's best to be sat at a desk or table with your back supported and your arms and wrists at the correct angle to the keyboard.
Don't know healthwise about this, but what I do know is that laptops do get hot and for this reason, apart from having a more stable surface, I have my laptop on a tray on my lap.
Yes as long as you are not drinking tea or some other liquid which might spill.
No that's why they are called laptops.
on the under side of your laptop there are some air vents.
one of these air vents is the intake for the CPU.block that one and your in the poo.the laptops cpu will get to hot and so you don't do any damage to it your laptop will shut down.

get yourself a cool pad or a tea tray so when you have the laptop on your lap the air can pass freely under the laptop.

any more help needed use email thanks
