Yes it is, it is also shown how to use it in a PowerBook's handbook. Obviously, most of you haven't even opened it.

When I run my 17" powerbook with display on and my external 20" cinema display on also, the temp of the cpu runs consistently at about 116 degrees farenheit, with the occasional 119 degree spike. When I close the powerbook and continue using my external display, cpu temp is consistently around 99 degrees fahrenheit. So this pretty much proves heat not being an issue in my opinion.

With the PowerBooks, yes... with the iBooks, no.
