    Since the ~4lbs VAIO SZ-series is still pretty expensive and my 100lbs 5'3"-wife really dislikes my Inspiron 6000D, I'm thinking about buying a Macbook for her... how is the heat?
    My Dell gets pretty hot after a while, even when I only browse the web (ie when I'm in bed I can't keep it on my belly nor even my lap, I have to put a something under) - how's Macbook doing when it comes to this problem?

    It's a cool running, stable system. The cooling vents are located behind the monitor, with not vents on the bottom/sides. Its pretty convenient for those who keep the laptop portable.
