I have just bought a laptop for the first time. I have a question
about the harddisk. Is it dangerous to shake the laptop while you
are accessing the harddisk ? ALso, while carrying it, wouldn't it
cause the harddisk head to hit the disk surface ?

It's great to use the laptop on your lap while it's flying, but my
common sense tell me that it may be dangerous for the harddisk.
Any comment is much appreciated.
