Brief Answer:
No, It is not safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello There

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yes it can be although there is no radiation injury but it can cause thermal injury to the skin due to heat produced by laptop which can lead to burns .

It’s advisable and always recommend to keep the laptop on table if you are working on it for longer duration.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
