My understanding was that heat rises and that the lid of the boko acts 
as an insulator, but this in no way invalidates your question. I am 
sure that Arctic-based research scientists would have no problem using 
either the new G4 Powerbooks or hypothetical dual-proc G5 Powerbooks 
with their lids closed.
