This review sounds overly negative. I don't have much interest in either party but it mentions the laptop got to 106f and said "too hot to touch". Well, that's only 41c. If 41c was too hot to touch, some fevers would burn your skin. Then it mentions that the fn keys area was at 96f. That's body temp. A phone taken out of a pocket will probably be around the same temp and we are not complaining it's too hot. Little details like that make me think they had some kind of negative bias towards the device and it is not clear why. I am not defending the device since I haven't used it, but that review reads like "yeah whatever I guess I'll review it, but if it's not perfect I'll trash it". I guess we'll have to wait for these first batches to go out to see what problems are actually a nuisance

The temperature of your hands is cooler than your core temperature: about 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees Fahrenheit). Obviously comfort is subjective, but I think the difference is large enough for some to feel uncomfortable. Especially when comparing against other things in a room, which tend to be much cooler compared to the body. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rob-A-B-Oostendorp/publication/225026854_Reliability_and_normal_values_for_measuring_the_skin_temperature_of_the_hand_with_an_infrared_tympanic_thermometer/links/0fcfd50fc466443a13000000/Reliability-and-normal-values-for-measuring-the-skin-temperature-of-the-hand-with-an-infrared-tympanic-thermometer.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rob-A-B-Oostendorp/publ...
