Apple's fastest new MacBook Pro is slowed down by heat

I don’t really understand the need to shove the best processor in a laptop unless you are doing serious work on it. At which point, your CAD, graphics, or video work is probably being done on a 17" chassis, and cooling is less of an issue, or at least it should be. For 95% of laptops a well designed Core i5 is more than sufficient.

Between “thinner and lighter,” and “our last desktop was a trashcan,” Apple doesn’t seem to have been taking these kinds of things into consideration as of late.
