Laptop Risk- ' Toasted Skin Syndrome'
« on: January 05, 2011, 08:57:29 PM »
Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs?

If so, you might want to rethink that habit.

Doing it a lot can lead to "toasted skin syndrome," an unusual-looking mottled skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure, according to medical reports. and this discoloration is permanent one.

In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy developed a sponge-patterned skin discoloration on his left thigh after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months.
"He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, regardless of that, he did not change its position,"


Swiss researchers reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Another case involved a Virginia law student who sought treatment for the mottled discoloration on her leg.

Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, was stumped until she learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer propped on her lap. The temperature underneath registered 125 degrees.
That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.

Major manufacturers including Apple, Hewlett Packard and Dell warn in user manuals against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for extended periods of time because of the risk for burns.

Chronic, prolonged skin inflammation can potentially increase chances for squamous cell skin cancer, which is more aggressive than the most common skin cancer.


So?? What u guys suggest that could be possible solution to prevent this condition??

The laptops heat up alot its because they got only 2 fans plus the heat sink is little ( because of compact size)
when u hold the laptop the vents get closed and it starts heating up more.
I would suggest you guys to use a desktop when your home and only time u should be using ur laptop is when you can't access ur pc and that too not for a long time

damn 125 F? :loll: and the person doesn't have the sense to move it, if it's that hot, then I blame one's own stupidity!

My laptop gets warm, but never to the point where it's uncomfortable.

I always have my laptop on my lap. Solution ; Maybe put a pillow underneath your laptop,
or when you feel it getting hot.. put it on ur bed or sofa instead.
It's not that bad if you watch out

Under $2000. I was in dicksmith just 2 weeks ago. I found a laptop, it had 4gb ram and it was really affordable, it was just really awesome.
