I use one for my MacBook on the boat but I find that it DOES get hot. It also draws a lot of power.
-----
I used one on a Mini in the Philippines where the ambient temp was 34 degrees (93F). I previously had used 12v converter for a PowerBook that got so hot it scared me.
The MikeGyver Mini-box was not hot to the touch the first few times i checked. After that I didn't bother to check. That's my experience.
I run my monitor directly off 12v by cutting the wire and attaching a cigar lighter plug. If you look around you can find LED displays that are 12v.
