They seem to be doing just fine with thermals.
>Like the 2020 M1 MacBook Pro, this laptop doesn’t get overly warm. Its underside reached a maximum temperature of 85 degrees, which is ten degrees lower than what we consider to be uncomfortably hot for a laptop. Likewise, the touchpad never went above 79 degrees.
This is one of, if not, the coolest-running and quietest laptops I’ve ever used.

Contrast to the Dell XPS 13 Plus:
>the XPS 13 Plus' fan was really struggling here because, boy oh boy, did this thing get hot. After a few hours of regular use (which, in my case, is a dozen or so Chrome tabs with Slack running over top), this laptop was boiling. I was getting uncomfortable keeping my hands on the palm rests and typing on the keyboard. Putting it on my lap was off the table.

For those who want a laptop, chasing performance via ever increasing clock speeds and voltages is problematic.
- pkulak 4y agoThe point is that they are doing well with the limited thermal stress their CPUs put off, very intentionally.
