Hello Alex,
I'd vote the Clock Radio more than the laptop... I've used a wide variety of chronographs with a succession of Macintosh Laptops (and even a couple of PC laptops) ranging from Duo 230's, through Duo 2300c's, PB 3400/200, Wall Street, Lombard, Tangerine iBook, Ice iBook G3/500 & 600, through my current PowerBook G4's and even my sister's Black MacBook. Never had an issue.
So I'd expect it's more related to your clock radio than the laptop(s)...
