According to Dave Russell, director of product marketing for portables and wireless at Apple.
Russell said Apple worked hard to eliminate some of the issues that cropped up in the first generation of PowerBooks, especially complaints that the 12-in. model ran hot.

"We took a very serious look at that," he said. We completely rearchitected the heat management in the machines, in terms of everything. We even added a thermo-coupler on the hard drive. Lots of stuff like that went into it."

The result, he said, is a cooler PowerBook.

Not that this is going to help Rev A users with the heat problem.

You know what’s even funnier I got one of the last rev A's made and I have no heat problem.

It must be in your heads, or in the early crop of Rev A’s.
