[LINK] Laptop aint for lap top ...

[Frank O'Connor]

Mmmm,

Push the clock cycles up, and the CPU's in the puppies generate a lot 
of heat. And the amount of heat a 1.5Ghz or better CPU has to 
dissipate is astonishing.

Sort of makes a nonsense of the 'laptop' appellation now though ... I 
mean if the price of having them on your laptop is as high as it was 
for this bloke!
