Message: <blockquote data-quote="eric" data-source="post: 725917" data-attributes="member: 22327">most companies are shying away from the term "laptop", typically opting for "notebook".  i don't think apple actually calls the macbook a laptop at all.this has less to do with jostling as it does with overheating the notebook and the potential overheating of your flesh, as there have been lawsuits initiated by people who say they have actually been burned by some models.that said, i have very occasionally used my macbook on my lap (but far prefer a good lapdesk).  one thing to keep in mind is to not restrict the rear vent at all.  you may also look at running a temperature monitor app to keep an eye on the internal heat of your machine.</blockquote>
