45W is easily doable, gaming notebook vendors can easily get up to 100W in a mobile package.

Apple and other "major brands" had a string of borderline laughable engineering mistakes over the past 5 years.

For example, in their latest 12 inch Macbook, they simply put a blower to work as an exhaust fan, but then forgot that the keyboard membrane has no sealing just above it.

I thought the 12 inch Macbook had completely passive cooling, with no blower nor fan.
Sorry, 2018 Mac Book Air
Where do you read about stuff like that, out of curiosity?
Well, I work in an engineering company
I thought the 12" macbook does not have a fan?
