Trusted Reviews posted a review on the Cooler Master NotePal P1

However, as amusing as the story is, there is a lesson to learn from it - notebooks get warm. In fact, the very fact that they get called notebooks instead of laptops, is so that aren't advertised as being safe or capable of being used on a lap. With desktop replacement lap-, err, I mean notebooks, this heat is especially noticeable, but even on the incredibly cool running Core Solo and Core Duo notebooks, they can still get a little toasty.
