It's Christmastime and Windows 11 time. I've had quite a few people ask me for suggestions on what laptop they should buy. Buyer are sucked in with thoughts of more speed, more cores, more threads, etc, etc. As we see here on this forum, heat issues are becoming more and more prevalent as CPU's have become faster. When you add that in with the fact that builds these days seem to have dropped in quality, in terms of longevity alone I've always felt it is a bad idea to pay big bucks for laptops with high performance CPUs since there's not much a user can do to control the heat inside the case. Since many of you know much more about such things than I do, what do you think? I value your opinion.
