Question: Do Laptops Cause Toasted Skin Syndrome?
Answer: Can using a laptop computer cause Toasted Skin Syndrome? Yes it can.
Laptop batteries tend to get hot when in use. There have been reports of laptop batteries causing burns on your legs or even catching fire. While this isn't normal even the typical battery can get hot enough that it can toast the skin of your legs over a long computing session.
You can prevent it easily enough by ensuring you have adequate ventilation between your laptop and your lap, by keeping the laptop off of your lap or by taking frequent breaks to allow both the battery and your legs to cool.
