It's usually the slimmer, lighter weight ones that have issues - your average 15", 5 pound slabbook will likely be fine as there's enough spare space to get decent cooling in there. But if you happen to get a model which has issues, the manufacturer likely isn't going to consider it something you deserve to get fixed. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
