Smaller is Hotter!

News that Sony are having problems with their PS2 power adaptors. It seems that as our desire for smaller and smaller packaging increases, so does the risk of overheating and power problems. This comes off the back of both Apple and Microsoft having trouble with their respective products (Powerbook, Xbox).

My works laptop gets so hot it's not really something you would want to have on your lap. Although the later model that's starting to appear does run much cooler. Hopefully, if my laptop dies for the 4th time this year I can convince them to replace it with a newer model. Least then I can sit at the airport and work on it, without setting fire to my trousers!
