The physics suggests just the opposite: the RF emissions from laptops are expected to be lower from first principles, and, I have heard, are measurably much lower.

But before going this route, I'd want to see some measurements. Laptops might already be "quiet enough." (Measurements are needed to determine the effectiveness of any proposed RF shielding anyway, so....)
The interference that laptops can cause with avionics is prima facie evidence that laptops are not quiet.
Even palmtops are quite noisy, in fact. -- Kent Crispin, PAB Chair "No reason to get excited", kent@songbird.com the thief he kindly spoke... PGP fingerprint: B1 8B 72 ED 55 21 5E 44 61 F4 58 0F 72 10 65 55 http://songbird.com/kent/pgp_key.html
