leaving a cpu with no cooling solution is a recipe for cpu failure. see the xbox 360 red ring of death as a scenario where inadequate cooling caused issues for the buyers... this is poor engineering and customer hostile.

It has passive cooling solution a.k.a throttling. It is the same thing what your smartphone does.
So you are saying its cooling strategy is to make the device slower for the user so it can cook itself until the ball joints on the CPU fail? Great design.
