Magnetic, no. As Variax points out.
A potential risk would be one of heat from the battery and components within the laptop itself, which gets hotter as the laptop works harder, especially if the cooling vents are blocked (by clothing, cushions, cats, etc.).
Heat is a form of radiation, but it's just that - heat.

@CareyGregoryI don't believe that basic common sense requires citations, which is why I ceased contributing to this stack many months ago. – Sep 01 '17 at 05:59

You're welcome to join the debate on that issue in meta. – Carey Gregory Sep 01 '17 at 14:59

I think you'll find that I did. Then I gave up. Then I stopped contributing to this stack and subsequently felt a lot happier about things. The stack here is clearly not a good fit for me (and it seems a lot of other people). – Sep 01 '17 at 15:07

I understand. I'm not entirely in agreement with the policy either. – Carey Gregory Sep 01 '17 at 21:10

The electromagnetic radiation emitted by a laptop is completely harmless, both by its amount and by its spectrum. No harmful effects occur from this kind of exposition, regardless of the affected area or the time of exposure.

The wifi has real health risks, plenty of studies available. You can disable the service, I suggest you use plug a ethernet cable(you can buy it on ebay 300 meters too if you want and share with friends/family,but you need special crimper and the small piece at the end) – HerbalResearcher Aug 04 '17 at 00:42

@HerbalResearcher Wifi does not have "real health risks." If you want to make the case that it does, provide an answer with citations for all these studies you think exist. – Carey Gregory Aug 31 '17 at 20:08
