You should also consider the 103% of people who think that you need a core i7 for desktop usage and the 912% that would buy any BS that Apple tells them; that's why +inf% of computer users buy apple.
Do you really think that 90% of computer users don't know that a GPU is?


Yes I do. Allot of seniors nowadays have computers. Allot of middle-aged people also don't have any idea of computers. Some people might of heard of a a graphicscard and know the better, the faster the game but not much else.

if we're on about laptops, my macbook is in my lap sitting at 70C and it's not uncomfortable. but my original point is that temperature =! Q. the amount of heat in your lap and the temperature of the chip are not as related as the isolation of the chip from the chassis and the locations of the vents.
I'll admit that my macbook does not have the best thermals for 100% cpu load without throttling, but unlike a lot of laptops (including the one my engineering school issued to me) if you put it in your lap, and your legs cover the intake vents, things get seriously uncomfortable. The mac is much better at ditching the heat (Q) than the HP mobile workstation.

That's the benefit of aluminium frames, my laptop isn't really that hot on my lap when the CPU is at 80c.

It was sarcasm, I think having the whole Unibody thing only works if you have really good cooling.

well yeah. my friend used to think the unibody was made to behave like a external heatsink (which i can't disagree, can get very hot)
