new PB... heat question
wow, i am simply stunned...
12" is the G4 ibook i wished for and i'm just about 99% certain I will get now, a little weary about buying first generation stuff but this just looks amazing, probably will wait until more thorough reviews come in and hopefully one will show up at my local Apple Store so I can go and see one...
Anyway, for those in SF for the expo, question... how hot are the new PB's running? I know it's been an issue for the earlier PB's, just wondering if the new Al casing makes the heat better/worse..

Like the iBook, however, the left side of the notebook is significantly warmer. The right side of the computer houses the battery and optical drive, and the left side and center of the unit house the hotter components (hard drive, AirPort Extreme card, and electronics). The machine generates a considerable amount of heat, and the backlit, frosted Lucite counters at the Apple booth certainly don't help the machine stay cool. On the show floor, the aluminum notebook was not noticeably cooler or warmer than an iBook.<hr></blockquote>
