I'm trying to find out if it's okay to use my laptop while I'm eating?

It depends on the circumstances. If you are using a laptop in a public place like a restaurant, then most people would expect that you will be respectful and not disturb other diners with your laptop or any noise from it. However, if you are using a laptop at home, then it is usually acceptable to do so as long as you are mindful of others around you.
