I have a ACER Aspire 1603LM, which is of the same design. It overheats, yes, but not that badly. What the hell did you expect, when you saw a desktop type P4 in the specs. And how did you expect DELL to help...?! Drill more holes into the case? My experience is, that once you learn to live with its flaws, its a good machine.

8.0Dell has joined the ranks of manufacturers who use desktop Pentium 4 chips in their notebooks. Like others in its class, the SmartPC 250N offers excellent performance at an attractive price.

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
