If they want you to put everything away and store all your stuff under
you seat, why would they then allow you to hold a piece of hardware on
your lap? It may be thrown around in turbulance and hurt someone.


Hmmm... you are allowed to keep the notebook on your lap if it is
switched off.


Some flight attendants will permit it, but this is not formally allowed.



During take offs and landings? Or just during flight?

During take off and landings, they'll require you to stow everything. Most
of the airlines are making a point to tell you that laptops in the seatback
pouch is not allowed either.

If you watch, you'll also see the FA's taking purses and other items from
people in the bulkhead seats. They tell them the items have to be stowed
for takeoff & landing, but they can remove them from storage during the
flight.
