Surface Pro 3 Overheat Damage

This is wrong again !

<3, But saying that Apple is handle the heath well is totally not true. The Apple users complaining about! And you can't say like Intel 2600k and intel core2duo produce the same heat!

Also your statement is not right, the fact that the Surface frame gets is only on small part of the frame. Where the fans are. COMPLETELY normal, meaning that its blowing all the hot heath outside!

Well, the frame has a definitely a passive role in the dissipation of the heat. Metals are very good thermal conductors, and the heat you can feel on your finger is heat wich is not stuck inside the box.

Of course, the hotest point is behind the location of the processor, but the whole frame gets warmer.

If the SP3 was made of plastic, you wouldn't feel this amount heat, and probably be like "wow, it never gets warm, that so cool ! hashtag life hashtag I love Microsoft hashtag chocolate", but the life expectancy of the device would be low.

The same for the MacBook, as they are made of aluminum alloy.

By the way, the picture you posted is very interesting, as you can clearly see the 2 little belts going around the fan towards the processor and that are used for the liquid/condensation cooling of the latter.

My biggest gripe with SP3's thermal dissipation system actually lies in the body itself. When the machine is hot, its only hot on the right side (near the DP/USB port). They could've distributed the heat to the left side so that the right side doesn't get very hot. And I have no idea why metal is a good heat conductor, but the heat still couldn't be distributed to the left side.

Everything else is perfect, I had to say.
