It varies a lot; it's not as if _every_ model shipped has an overheating
problem. 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.
