  To be fair they’ve always been bumping up against this since they don’t like to put tons of fans in their laptops. While this obviously shouldn’t happen, it seems like something you could easily predict might be a flaw if you knew that one had to exist.

    They've always been bumping up against this back in the Apple II days, and systems would overheat then, too. All in the name of Steve Jobs emphasizing case aesthetics & not wanting fan noise.

      Eh, that reminded me of the paper chimneys some people advocated for better air flow on the original Mac or MacPlus. (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+chimney https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+chimney , namely https://www.flickr.com/photos/idontlikewords/275104234 https://www.flickr.com/photos/idontlikewords/275104234 - some case aesthetics ;-)

    Oh they put the fans in there, they just don't spin them up until components are half desoldering themselves off the board.
