I have one at work and it's not, I ended up using my personal MBP13 instead. Fan seems to struggle to dissipate even 25 watts of heat. Sometimes it would be sitting at 50+ degrees C, just idling. I asked our IT guys if I can repaste it, but they told me it's still on warranty. It might help, but I'll never know I guess.

My T480 is fairly quiet unless it's under pretty heavy load. I do have the model with discrete graphics, which apparently has much better cooling (even when the discrete chip isn't being used).

All the laptops I've had over the years (HP, Dell, 2 Asus, now a Thinkpad, plus like 3 Dells at work) have idled at about 50 C. Is that not supposed to be normal?
