Yeah.

I’ve helped people assemble computers many times since it was released, and it’s only really in really tight spaces where’d I’d recommend others if a non-stock cooler is being consider (outside of visual design requests). Availability is a factor of course, but I haven’t come across a situation where at least one of the PA120 (SE or not) coolers wasn’t available pretty easily online.

And?

Is someone holding a gun to an OEM’s head forcing them to integrate it? Are there truly no products for which their highest TDP processors are not feasible or the correct choice to use? Are OEM’s clueless for recognizing the portion of the market who are willing to purchase machines with those chips?

The answer to all those questions is no, and I would really rather the market offer options if someone has use for them than discard them because most don’t. Heck, there’s a non-zero portion of the market that would love it if Apple had a M2 Ultra Macbook as an optiopn

Intel just shamelessly pushing desktop CPUs into laptops with 200 watt power consumption nowadays lol

Being really blunt here, Intel is not the one putting 200 watt power CPU’s inside of laptops. There’s lot to criticism Intel for, but OEM design choices are not one of them.

Large die surface area helps a lot. In many ways heat density is a bigger challenge than total heat generated.

I have a place I could park it, I have a place to charge it, but it really doesn’t make finacial sense to purchase one.

I currently carpool to work 3 days a week, take the bus on the others, and my car is a small hatchback. Most of the limited driving I do tends to be longer distances, with the previous trip I took managing 5.5L/100km (43mpg). Even assuming a higher price of driving, I’ve done the math on currently available options, and the savings never actually materialize for my use of a vehicle with the range I want from a vehicle.

When my current car dies I’m definitely aiming for no less than a PHEV, but not before then.

Model Y doesn’t qualify. Motortrend has always required new or major revisions to a vehicle to qualify for car of the year.
