They would care when their laptop shuts down. [1]

[1] I was running a test today when the program being tested ran into a very tight loop and the fan really kicked in. I was curious if it would finish and let it run for several minutes until all went quiet and the screen went dark. It had shutdown to prevent heat damage.

That means the fans need to be cleaned of dust.

A laptop overheating from few minutes of 100% CPU is not normal.

Unless it is a really crappy laptop.
