I wonder why? After all, it's directly attached to a huge heatsink with a sophisticated liquid cooling setup that ensures it will stay at a comfortable 37C -- it will even do evaporative cooling when necessary, going so far as to replenish the liquid reservoir on its own.
That sounds... uncomfortable. Seriously.
Imagine the marketing: "and it uses YOUR body as its cooling system"!
I just wish it would use my body as an energy source. Battery low? Eat a hamburger!
