Not sure I follow you. I leave it on and alive for hours, monitoring it for temp and power all the time with no problems so far. I've been running Kubuntu 9.04 (beta, then RC's) for quite a while, though (almost as soon as I got it). Seems solid and stable to me. It DOES get hot at the keyboard (where it vents) when I push it too hard and so I do wish they'd had SOME kind of fan to help with that--but it never overheats and seems to run pretty solidly. I did find a bug in the Intel video driver that randomly makes the desktop restart.. but that's a driver error effecting even desktop PC's with a specific Intel video chipset similar to the one in the Mini9 and I didn't notice anything related to heat.

Anyway... this is veering into netbook discussion territory now. Let's get back to talking about the new, non-existant Nokia tablet.
