wouldn't that become a heat dissipation issue?

Detachable/external cooling, maybe? You don't need to dissipate that much heat during normal operation.

I wonder how much thinner helps with heat dissipation?

Might have a small problem with heat dissipation

Are you doing anything for ventilation / cooling on them?

Wouldn't this have heat dissapation issues?

And laptop heatsinks have less thermal mass

What's the cooling situation on such a laptop?

nomel Aug 27, 2024 View on HN

Is this all mostly a heat spreader efficiency requirement?

This would lead to difficulties with heat dissipation.
