<I agree that having a
laptop on board is neither convenient nor safe (for the laptop).>
To that extent, a sextant shouldn't be aboard either. It can get thrown around and smashed.
When I have brought a laptop aboard I treat it like a pice of crystal: Stowed securely, deployed securely (i.e. velcro straps around the table; in my lap only if flat water) and away from the companionway and any water. Given routine care like that, it is just another instrument.
Mighty handy one--when it is working right.<G>
