Sony (or Dell or Gateway, etc) wouldn't be able to sell them in the US if there was a serious risk of the computer over-heating. They wouldn't get a UL listing.

That said, the bottom of your notebook might get a bit too hot to keep on your lap after an hour of use... Of the two, I would say that the Mobile Pentium is more desireable for the Notebook environment, but a desktop P4 isn't going to set your house on fire....
