45W is easily doable, gaming notebook vendors can easily get up to 100W in a mobile package.

Apple and other "major brands" had a string of borderline laughable engineering mistakes over the past 5 years.

For example, in their latest 12 inch Macbook, they simply put a blower to work as an exhaust fan, but then forgot that the keyboard membrane has no sealing just above it.

I thought the 12 inch Macbook had completely passive cooling, with no blower nor fan.

I thought the 12" macbook does not have a fan?
