Andreas, >But for laptop design a higher operating junction temperature is actually a good thing since you can use less aggressive cooling measures then (imagine e.g. that the CPU had to be cooled down to room temperature).

True, but the combination of significantly higher CPU chip temperature and less cooling can result in a burnt lap. I've experienced laptops that you can't tolerate after a while like that.
