Court,
The reason I ask is because my wife got a Tosheba with AMD processor and it eats batteries and runs hot. I just got a new ACER, don't know the spelling, net book, and it runs cool, no fan noise and has good battery life.

My ASUS Eee (netbook) is a first-generation one with an Intel Celeron-M processor running at around 700MHz. The newer Eee's use an Atom processor that might run cooler -- the processor in mine is rated for 900MHz but Asus underclocked it (maybe because of heat issues -- it didn't help). Unfortunately lots of newer laptops seem to be running hotter than their weaker ancestors.

I had been planning on switching to my netbook (Asus EEE 701) to run Tunelab (I'm currently using a PocketPC). However, I decided it might be a bad idea, at least for my particular netbook. The problem is that it runs VERY hot (hotter than any of my previous laptops), and has a little fan on the side that blows the hot air out. Given the fact that it will be very close to the strings while tuning, this seemed to me like a recipe for trouble. If I had to use it, I'd use an external mic that would allow me to move the actual computer farther away.
How have you that use laptops dealt with this issue?

I just got my Asus Eee (9.5 hr battery) and actually I haven't figured out
what my tool kit will look like yet. I have a laptop case with compartments
that I'm going to try to use, if that works out, I'll be happy to share some
photos. I haven't purchased any software yet but according to Dean Reyburn,
RCT will run just fine.
