Researchers Warn Male Laptop Users of Infertility Risk
I don’t have a laptop myself but a few times I borrowed the company’s unit, I never used them on my laptop… I can imagine that will be very uncomfortable cuz the heat just gets to you on your lap.
Well with this piece of old news, you might not want to do that either but for a very different reason hehe. The news is dated 2004, so I’m not sure if the heat generated by laptops nowadays has decreased. Maybe they should do a new study.
