I'm sure Apple has done some pretty exhaustive (no pun intended) thermodynamic analysis of the case design.
I have three macbooks, two airs and a 13" mpbr, and none have had any thermal issues at all, even in the heat of summer.
If you are using a laptop in a way that generates that much heat, you probably get about 1 hour of battery life, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a laptop in the first place. A larger fan or heavier case material would also make the laptop less user-friendly for the vast majority of users.

- michaelt 12y agoI'm sure Apple has done some pretty exhaustive (no pun intended) thermodynamic analysis of the case design. If (as this article says) users have to reflow their boards and drill holes in their cases, I would say not exhaustive enough!
- slantyyz 12y agoI think a big part of why the early 2011 MBPs are an outlier is that the Sandy Bridge CPUs Apple put in the 2011 MBP simply ran very hot under load.
