Apple "Values" Quietness over Coolness... it isn't that the Cooling Solution they have isn't physically capable of dissipating the Heat., as you can actually perform a manual override to force the Fans to any state you want., and at about 70% they're typically capable of keeping pace with the demanding heat production.
The thing is that Apple has set the Profile (which you can't change., you know given their infinite wisdom in such things) so that it won't even activate the Fans *until* the Processor hit 85c (remember that 95c is the Peak). Even then they're hard capped at like 40-50%., which results in noticeable throttling while remaining "Relatively Quiet".
On the outside it sounds find and dandy... it's a relatively thin Laptop with a Powerful Processor and doesn't sound like an Aircraft under-load... good times, right?
Sure, until the damn thing essentially burns out various components or even warps the System Board.
The absolute kicker being, is not only do you simply not get the Performance you'd expect (or would get from Similar High-Performance PC Laptops) but rather WHEN (not if) damage is caused., Apple "Genius" (a fast and loose usage of said term if I've ever heard one) will then cite a $500-1,000 bill to "Repair" the problem, even within Warranty.
They're frankly an absolute joke... but, eh.. they're popular because of strong brand recognition, the mindshare of being a "Quality Product"; which sure, perhaps a decade ago was a fair assessment but today., they're just taking advantage of the fact their Consumers aren't Tech Savvy enough to know when they're being conned.
The saddest aspect being is in the past maybe 3-4 years, we're seen them pull a PR slight-of-hand to where their own Consumers now believe when it breaks it's THEIR Fault (with a fairly rabid Community willing to reinforce that).
