By contrast, I've found that laptops make my RSI much worse. In particular, laptops usually run pretty warm and typing on a warm or hot keyboard gets painful very quickly. My results are controlled in that using an external Thinkpad keyboard is far more comfortable than using the identical built-in keyboard on my Thinkpad.

Interesting. The laptops I've used all get hot at the bottom left rear corner, near the power supply, not where my hands touch them.
