Doesn't the reduced thickness also contribute to higher Temps and the jet engine fans?

If it was a bit thicker, some of the empty space could be used to push air through and cool the components better.

    Not really.

    My ThinkPad X1 Carbon is around 2.5 lb. So thin that sometimes I forget it's in my backpack.

    Battery life is at least 5 hours when working but when I'm just reading and doing light things can be way more. (With Linux).

    I barely notice the fan even when transcoding and CPU at peak.
