Doesn't matter, your average John Doe doesn't know any better.

If you are a deadheading pilot in uniform sitting next to this guy, tell him that "Did you know that the gamma rays from your laptop can interfere with the airplane's navigation receivers? While it doesn't matter during cruise, it is extremely critical during takeoff. You don't want anything BAD to happen to this flight, do you?"

I bet you 9/10 would put away the laptop and be scared the rest of the flight.
