It seems a little unfair to complain about throttling in prime95. it's pretty much a thermal virus, right?

The other problems seem silly though. It really would be nice if they would just make them as big as they need to be to perform well. My t430 doesn't way any more then a macbook plus a water bottle. Carrying a pound less won't change my life. The thin-ness of macs seems mostly about looks, imo.
