Segmentation in the sense that: this laptop is not designed for the workloads that produce 100+ temps.
That's not an oversight, that's an engineering tradeoff to lower the weight and thickness for the workloads that it is designed for: day-to-day usage by the average person (i.e. no video render, no big project compiling).
- Havoc 4y ago>that's an engineering tradeoff to lower the weight and thickness huh? This mod doesn't seem to change thickness at all and 3% weight gain for a gigantic jump in performance under load barely counts as a trade-off....more like a no-brainer.
- dijit 4y agoexcept for the inevitable "this laptop is uncomfortable to use" "this laptop causes infertility" etc; etc; If you want sustained performance (greater than 5 minutes of sustained load) then just don't get this laptop. For bursty workloads (as is standard for ultraportables) it's perfectly fine, you'll never even notice there was a thermal cut-off.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoAs others have mention in the comments here, it’s not about thickness of the pads it’s about the new surface temperature of the chassis. It gets too hot to be at all comfortable. If you need sustained workloads, get the laptop designed for sustained workloads.
