This is supposed to be normal but I too am uncomfortable with that. |

Laptops are designed to operate at higher temperatures. My previous |
| 8 |
thinkpad R40e would run at around 72C at full load. My new iBook G4 |
| 9 |
(1.2 GHz) runs at 58-60C at full load but that is because it has a |
| 10 |
very powerful fan. I have found that hard-disk heating is more of a |
| 11 |
problem since it causes lot of discomfort to your palm while working. |
