Hmm, not really. My "Laptop" (Asus) tends to get rather warm after a while
and even so it doesn't have a CPU fan it's to noisy for me. Plus: i once killed
a harddisk by moving to fast with my laptop on my lap (ok, it might have
been coincidence but i shure felt guilty afterwards). And i seem to be a messy
eater and terminal keyboards are _much_ easier to clean ;-) ( ... just
hunting down that grain of salt that's blocking arbitrary keys on my laptop
the last two days).
