Nowadays, technology changes. Laptop is no longer a not-much-of-use plastic just to listen to music, surf around the net and type documents. Many people has started to abandoned desktop and get themselves a good laptop to make it a portable workstation. Moderate gamers should be pretty satisfied with what the laptop can give them. For me, laptop is indeed my workstation. I use not only for games but distributed computing and some simple webhosting. After a few weeks using laptop, I dump my desktop to my cousins.

LOL, if you overclock a lappie, you got to prepare a fire extinguisher beside you in case it explodes
Nope. No sign of burns yet. Pentium M or similar mobile processor have a maximum temperature rated at 100 celcius, critical temperature at 93-95 celcius. Without overclocking, my thermal probe reads 70 celcius. After overclock an extra 10%, it's about 76 celcius. It's still pretty far from the critical temperature. I have tried overclocking to 2.1GHz, it's about 84 celcius. Just wash the heatsink and replace the thermal paste monthly and it will never go wrong.
