re: "Which notebook is that? Sounds rather interesting, if viable ..."

It is one of the upper or better level Compaqs issued to him by the school that he attends. My daughter's Toshiba (GAK! also peEweEiiI powered) emits a constant noise of air rush that is tell tale of fan cooling. My son's, which operates at a noticeably higher clock rate, gives no evidence of such noise. It may be nothing other than superior noise baffling but he claims that there is no air rush evidence and that one side seems always to be convecting very warm air. I will get the actual model for you the next time that I speak with him.

My son's choice of a peEweEiiI device was a "no-brainer" for me since the Institute issued it at "no cost" (and no choice) to him. My daughter's Toshiba was a much more painful decision for both of us. (We are both very loyal to AMD derived devices.) There were, at the time, no upper end AMD based portables available. That situation, as we all know, on this thread, is rapidly changing.

Patient Regards,

DARBES

Tench, DARBES re <<Which notebook is that? Sounds rather interesting, if viable ...>>

Using heat pipes in notebooks is nothing new and they have been used for a long time by most (if not all) of the major OEM's.

In this case, heat pipes are nothing more than a thin copper tube with purified water inside. Heat pipe transports "heat" by phase change, evaporating (absorbing heat) at one end and condensing (releasing heat) at the other.
