I'm sitting here, typing on my *MADE IN JAPAN* Sony VAIO (PCG-TR5EB if anyone's interested) and this computer has never had any heat issues (well... only once when I accidentally put it out of standby while in a bag). As long as Sony keeps making laptops in Japan, I'll stick to Sony (I had to give my lovely 15" Aluminum Powerbook that kept denting at the slightest bump to my little sister and she gave me this one) because while I had heat issues with that one (can't use it for longer than a half-hour on anything but a glass or metal surface or my hands will get burned- crap ventilation is the issue). Sad that even Apple products are Made in China (and it STILL costs over $500 to get a replacement casing here).
