It seems like the logical place to me to discuss powerbook replacements.

I have a macbook pro.I just upgraded from a 12" powerbook 867.

The greatest heat seems to come while using and charging the macbook
pro at the same time. if it is plugged in and the battery is charged
no worries. If it is running from the battery no worries. However if
it is charging while you are using it it is hot as hell. The pro
should handle the heat significantly better because of the cooling
properties of aluminum. That plastic is just too insulating. Oddly, if
your machine has more RAM the macbook pro seems to run a hair cooler.
