As a Macbook Pro owner myself, I'm somewhat reluctant to admit that the first generation of Macbooks suffer from an annoying and constant whine and an unaccpetable amount of heat output. Therefore, I will be one of the many calling Apple Support on May 20. May 20th, it's been reported, is "the day the whining ends." OSX86Project has more.

Hey, I'm not saying that the product is good or bad, I'm just stating what Apple says about that particular heat issue. Anyways, have you ever looked at the heat sink for a PowerMac G4 tower? It is a monster! Except for the differences in speed, the two processor are not that much different. I think that the ibook isn't as bad on heating because of the plastic shell... maybe they should put that around the aluminum;) Anyways, here is a link to pic of the heatsink:
