That very much depends on the type of the mini notebook.
My
toshiba libretto 50 - THE grandfather of all the mini notebooks - has no moving parts except for Harddisk. No fans, not even heatpipes for cooling.
And I have set up the power save option in Bios to switch off the disk after 5 minutes of inactivity.
So after opening a book and reading for 5 minutes there was no part moving inside the notebook. The notebook made as much noise and excess heat as my Sony Reader PRS500.
Toshiba Libretto 50 features the very first model of pentium processor (at whooping 75MHz). Yes this is the processor with the famous bug
