[QUOTE="applec2400, post: 509159, member: 39960"] its just the g4 processor. they run extremely hot, and having a powerbook doesn't help your lap any either because the aluminum transmits heat like no tomorrow. Any programs that run the processor hard will heat it up, you have to take into consideration that the g4 is only a single core processor, it cant handle everything without a sweat. Thats why you never saw a Powerbook G5, IBM couldn't keep it cool enough so it wouldn't literally cook legs and other fleshy objects that touch it. [/QUOTE]
