I just don't know how some of these notebooks can even pass the validation stage to market when they have such fundamental glaring flaws!  It's a growing trend as CPU power is increasing and notebooks are getting thinner - running too hot & throttling way too much, not getting the 'advertised' performance.  Way more emphasis needs to be placed on the engineering aspects of these notebooks rather than the cosmetics, as well as innovations in cooling technology - or just increasing the quality & manufacturing of the cooling solutions.

I love watch how Apple plays with fire, their reputation and user's trust.
