It's just one of many great aspects for such a capable device. They also run very cool and are effectively silent even when the fan DOES eventually turn on for a sustained max load. By comparison, every Windows/Intel laptop I've had over the last decade exhibited obvious fan noise every time there was some short-lived load on the CPU - that includes several nicer business/pro grade laptops including Dell XPS, Latitudes, and a Thinkpad. ...and NONE of those other laptops came remotely close to reliably lasting 10+ hours on battery like the MBPs can/do.
