Then you obviously havent heard about the Sony N-series laptops.
and that dell runs LOUD and HOT...not to mention the base is 2" thick by itself. My hall mate has one. So I would know. I can vouch for ThinkPads though, prior to the Lenovo takeover. Damn solid machines they are.
Maybe you need you eyes and ears checked it's not 2" thick with the whole thing. it barely even goes loud. And you certainly lieing about heat it dosnet get above 60 degrees and by then the fans are on.
As for "mate" I own one I would know way better then you.
Macbooks aren't that great I own one.
