The powerbook REALLY get's hot when you use it
at full powers (no powersaving at all).
I'm curious to the long-term effects this have
on the powerbook.
I noticed that mine (17 " 1.33 version) got EXTREMELY
hot to the degree that I can hardly touch the bottom-alu
at all, but the macine became a LOT faster, also for
surfing the net & garageband etc.
What's your experience?
