Well, to be honest, I'm looking forward to the new Intel PowerBooks, just because I think Apple is making a good move. I love the PowerPC, but the x86 hardware runs cooler than the G4 or G5.
Actually it doesn't. Powerbooks use their cases as part of the heat sink, and Pentium-4 based laptops step the CPU speed way down.
The new Pentium M class run cooler but also sport big fans. I was loading Adobe Creative suite on a new one the other day and it was like having a space heater on my desk, with a fan blasting hot air out the side. Powerbook fans come on at higher temps.
