Let's not forget, the macbook seems (in my brief experience with one) to be a good deal hotter than the previous albooks. It is noticeable. Unlike with the albooks I went "whoa, …

Having spoken to an Apple worker, he claims that the difference is very small - more like 130 degrees on the MBP versus 135 on the PowerBook G4. It may be more a matter of the scr…
