Hot lap with the Mac
Reading The Tao of Mac’s post enitled “Lap Tiger” made me think about the one major beef I have with my PowerBook – it could burn a whole through my legs in the time it takes to catch up with some ESPN.com sports scores.
Is this a byproduct of the compact design? There doesn’t seem to be any fan or cooling function.
Still a great laptop, but just don’t take the “lap” portion of the name to heart.

My work-provided Dell Inspiron 8500 (shudder) is the same way.
Oh, and the reason there are no G5 Powerbooks…the G5 apparently left third-degree burns on Steve Jobs lap during testing.
Although, given his behaviour lately, some might see that as a good thing…
:) I admit, I would hate to see this thing with more power and more heat. I would need some special asbestos pants.
