A top spec 16" MPB is 6,099 USD. Does it have better thermal design? Doesn't seem so. It is an entirely valid comparison.

baybal2 made two separate claims:

1: The thermal solutions in macbooks are comparable to some $300 laptops

2: Other companies do laptops that are just as thin and powerful as macbooks but have much better thermals.

The list they posted is 2, not 1.

Um, the "top spec" MB Pro price is completely irrelevant since that's inflated with vast amounts of really fast SSD.

The relevant comparison is to the $2400 MBP base price.

Y740S starts at $1099.
