Unlikely.  Smaller computers usually means the components are closer 
together, stacked on top of each other, and have reduced features.  The 
first two will increase the heat, the last one could decrease the heat, 
but quite possibly wouldn't.  The only way to truly reduce the heat 
would be to decrease the size of the components themselves and reduce 
the power given to them; those are often tied together (ie smaller size 
implies less power is needed).
