I don't think the parent was saying that a thick laptop is going to be better - but rather that when you are making a device as thin as possible, and that's the metric you index on, cooling performance WILL suffer.
It's not just that they haven't put enough engineering effort in - they consciously made a design tradeoff.
- dijit 6y agoI still think it can be done, whether it's sacrificing performance or rethinking the thermal design to include a smaller battery and a larger heat pipes, or simply using a lower TDP CPU.. But yeah it's all trade-offs.
