Please be so kind as to advise if RFI will damage my laptop computer. I know that police and other emergency vehicles have laptops in their vehicles but operate only UHF. Your kind help on this question will greatly be appreciated!

But 100 watts on any frequency has the potential to interfere with a computer's operation. If it were me, I'd give it a try, starting with lower power first (10 or 20 watts?) and work up to full power.
