"Recommended". So at least they're being honest, unlike Intel and their stated TDP. Laptop manufacturers have always used the cheapest possible cooling, but since Sandy Bridge, it has become painfully obvious the TDP is severely understated. Thermal throttling has become acceptable, and while it's impressive that Intel CPUs last years at ~90 degC, I'd rather they be honest with their actual requirements to get the full performance out of a given chip. Many laptops go over 90 degrees even at the guaranteed base speeds (no TurboBoost), in everyday use, not even multihour rendering or anything.
