Sooo good in winter though. My old gaming laptop used to pump out 50C heat from the side (GPU) and not far off the same at higher speed still from the back (CPU / chipset heatsink). 6 fans. 6. Never needed the heating on. Never had cold hands.
But any high-spec laptop will probably be hot enough under load. Thinner one will just spin the fans faster in an attempt to draw the heat out resulting in a much nosier machine.
Personally, I do like laptops to be within that weight (2.2kg) range. I move around a lot, so I don't want anything too heavy. But I do not want super-thin because they are so loud/hard to cool (sometime I end up moving to a place where I may not have control of the central heating and room are kept very warm, or to a hot country). Additionally, I find that the first point of failure in laptops are the fans. Thin laptops not only suck in more dust because of the higher RPM, but the enclosures are often also difficult to open for maintenance (in theory, it may not have to be that way, but in practice, I find that to be always the case), which means that not only do you have fans that end up clogged faster, but they are also difficult to clean.
(I will note that not every large machines are easy to clean either, but at least I've seen some. Nowadays that is the first thing I look at when looking for a new laptop, and I wish that reviewers would make a habit to report that aspect too).
