Gary, Re: laptops overheating

I was at Fry's yesterday, and I thought I'd test a few laptops, just to see how hot they get on the bottom. Compaq had a 1.4GHz Athlon 4 (1600+ rated), and the bottom was pretty warm. Sitting next to it, however, was a 1.0GHz Pentium III-M, and the bottom on that was just as hot! Lastly, I checked the bottom of a 1.6GHz Pentium 4-M (you know - the paper launched one <ggg>), and it was cooler than either the Pentium III-M or the Athlon 4.

That leads me to believe that there is plenty of room in the design of a mobile machine, and just the heat from the CPU has little to do with it.
