I hate the ThinkPad x60s

As I write this from an x60s sitting on my lap, my right wrist is baking and my thighs feel like they're baking in a small oven. This thing reaches very unpleasant temperatures and that would be okay if it was isolated to the bottom of the laptop, I could just run it on a desk etc. but the palm rest gets so hot that my hands are uncomfortable and sweaty. I hate it! I wrote ibm a long time ago and they said they get this hot, that's the way it is. Well whatever, I won't be buying another.

That said, I really liked my X31. Same size, maybe a tad heavier but very close, better feeling keyboard, no heat issues at all.

That's it - just a rant

CNET has apparently acknowledged it as well...

i think this is a design fault.
