There is a fact of life that we just have to accept and there is no way around it; electronic equipment generates heat and the only way to lengthen the lives of said products is to wick away that heat via fans, liquid cooing, or phase change cooling. Nowhere is heat more on an enemy than in the notebook industry. Granted mobile processors are generally rated at a higher maximum temperature but are supposed to be lower TDP of their desktop counterparts, but the heatsink/fan units on notebooks can barely manage that task and it is not because of the lack of trying, it is because of the lack of space. Simply put and painfully obvious desktops have more space than laptops.
