"Laptop" a figurative term

Now to throw another log on the fire:

Laptops can output 30 or 50 milligauss and hundreds of volts per meter when located at the laptop. These numbers are equivalent to those found under high tension towers or close to the dashboard of a car. Is a laptop as dangerous as those electro-magnetic fields generated by high voltage transmission lines?

Provided here are numbers. Conclusions are yours.
