Beware, laptop heatsinks don't apply pressure strongly and evenly enough for graphite thermal pads.

I adore graphite thermal pads for desktops.

I will never attempt to use graphite thermal pads in a laptop again.

Thanks for the heads up, cheers.

Non-mac laptops.. seem mostly sketchy these days.

If you know of exceptions please do chime in.

How sketchy? If you open it up and start messing with the heatsink and thermal paste a MacBook will get just as messy...
