Regardless of how the computer was designed to get rid of heat, there are
two issues which concern me:
Large temperature cycles tend to fatigue connections and components. From
what I am told this is the principle mode of computer failure.
Assuming the competitors generate less heat (not just dissipate more heat),
heat generated = battery power wasted.
