I've never had any overheating problems with the laptop.
Good point though, depending on the laptop I'm sure that
some wouldn't like being stuffed into a confined space and
left on for a period. Luckily (sorta) for me my old laptop
has a horrible battery life, so it can't be left on that
long at a stretch anyway.
I know of some other GEEZ users who have used an inverter to
power the laptop. This definitely eliminates those annoying
battery life worries! But I'm lazy...I'll stick with the
Palm.
