Amazing they're called 'laptops' when you haven't been able to safely keep a laptop on the top of your lap for decades.

Even slight increases in temperature is enough to do damage to certain parts of a man, and it's really not good for your legs to have this extremely hot air blasted over it continuously.

Are they ever safe? Aside from Atom and maybe the AMD equivalent, they've always been hot when not idling. And those Atoms are so tiny you might as well just hold them in your hand
