[pianotech] Verituner

[Court Stewart]

I had been planning on switching to my netbook (Asus EEE 701) to run Tunelab
(I'm currently using a PocketPC).  However, I decided it might be a bad
idea, at least for my particular netbook.  The problem is that it runs VERY
hot (hotter than any of my previous laptops), and has a little fan on the
side that blows the hot air out.  Given the fact that it will be very close
to the strings while tuning, this seemed to me like a recipe for trouble. If
I had to use it, I'd use an external mic that would allow me to move the
actual computer farther away.

How have you that use laptops dealt with this issue?
