No mark either. I have a wrist rest for my keyboard and I keep my mouse hand elevated by my arm rest and at a location below my heart to to prevent eventual "cold hand" which sucks balls.

With one of those touchpads?
Weird, I've been using laptops for the last 5 years or so, and I still have it. Maybe I got it growing up and it won't go away any more...

If you have your hand elevated above your heart for long periods of time, especially while using your mouse, your hand can become quite cold, and thats due to a lower amount of blood reaching your hand over a long period of time. I used to get it really bad until I started sitting up more (and got a better chair).

Yeah. I've got into the habit of only using my laptop while laid in bed, so I rest it on my stomach and my hand sits to the left of the touchpad. I picked up this habit while I was at university, because the atrocious house we rented got so cold in the winter that lying under your duvet with all your clothes on was the only way to stay warm. I'm not sure using a laptop while lying horizontally is particularly healthy, but it certainly relieves the usual aches and pains you get from prolonged computer usage.

That's terrible for your laptop (and your health). You should use a laptop fan/mat, or better yet, one of those breakfast trays people use in bed, so your laptop doesn't overheat, and you won't get cancer of the bollocks.

My laptop has never overheated. And why's it bad for my health, exactly? I'm sure you're right, but I'd like to hear the specifics.

Other than male fertility issues and "toasted skin syndrome", I don't think there is any real danger. But like with everything else these days, someone will discover that it can cause some sort of cancer.
I still suggest you get one of those bed trays, for extra safety (for you and your laptop)

Never found any kind of skin marks either. I'm pretty sure my laptop doesn't get warm enough to do any kind of damage.
