Has anyone had a problem with dust clogging up the heatsink or has apple invented a nifty way to eliminate this? On my dell 5100 i regularly have to clean out the heatsink with compressed air.

You can use compressed air if you want, but there really is no need to in a Powerbook. Air has to keep moving in the small cramped space, so there usually isn't much, if any dust inside. I've never seen it, and I've opened many, many Powerbooks.
