Out of curiousity, after hearing about all these heat problems with Pentium4's particuarly the precotts, how is it possible to put the desktop pentiums in laptops?

I've even managed to burn my leg with a Pentium M notebook.

That's one of the dangers of living in Florida and wearing a swim suit or shorts 99% of the time. ;)

Put a giant, noisy, loud cooling system in a laptop chassis.

And don't think about battery life.

Voila.

PEntium 4 desktop CPU in a 10lb packagewith 60 minute battery life that burns your testicles if you do something as obscene as put a laptop on your lap.

LOL, I have a 2.4 P4 Prostar, and that thing will really warm your hands. On the newer D600 Dells, there is a really bad hotspot on the bottom.

Hmmm... I haven't noticed that with mine. Maybe it's a lot more apparent with the newer, faster processors. (If I remember correctly, mine has a 1.4 GHz Pentium M.)

Then again, with how @#$% cold it gets here in the winter, I wouldn't mind a portable space heater.
