Do you have it with your desktop aswell?

Might be something like RSI. Try and lower your computerusage for a week, and see if it gets less.

When using a laptop I'm getting problems aswell. That's why I'm using desktops

If you think a laptop's harmful, you should see what a mobile phone does to the human ear & brain. All this so-called shielding on phones is useless. And who is it that tells us that radiation from mobile phones is harmless ? Thats right - the people who sell mobile phones. People who spend hours on their mobiles are damaging their heads. And all you lot who listen to your walkmans (or whatever it is you youngsters listen to these days) with the volumes turned up to 50 million. And what about Chernobyl ? And the rats ? And the Labour government ? And the yoof of today ? And the state of the roads ? And oh my god my back is killing me ! Have you seen the price of bacon recently ? Oh my god I saw Reece the other day and he was stabbing a guide dog before raping the blind women and stealing her money ! And what about the economy ? And the state of the health service ? And whats is happening on Eastenders ? And oh everything....

Who said anything about radiation? I'm talking about an unergonomic position, and repeated motions.

And ohw, for christ sake, use some carrier returns.

only when ive physically got the laptop across the top of my legs.

Probably just a very bad position. Perhaps try and go to ikea, and get one of those laptoplapboardthingies

Are you sure you are not simply tensing your quadriceps to support the laptop? Any muscle tensed for a long period of time will start to twitch.

It could also be a circulation thing. A heavy laptop across legs could reduce the blood flow a bit. The body can react by twitching.

Another thing worth noting is how the human body adapts to different temperatures. If you change the temperature slowly your body will subconciously react. So if you start with your cold laptop on your lap after an hour it may have reached 50C but you will probably only feel it as slightly warm. That could be making your legs go funny.

Radiation.. doubtful. But twitching is never good so get it off
