The overheating issue is most likely an e-machines issue, than an AMD one, per se. That being said, one thing to note on the AMD line, is that there really isn't a true low power mobile processor, either. Its basically Athlon64, Turion(sp), or Semperon, none of which would compare to say Pentium M, on power usage as far as I'm aware. I've had great luck with my AMD64 laptop, myself. (Athlon64 3000)
