The Apple things still rages on with some people. I think Apples are great for some things.

I use Raspberry Pi's for small network, server and tasks. I use T430s Thinkpads for my laptop/linux platform, but I still use nice shiny Apple iMac 27" for my day to day driver/content consumption.

They are powerful. They run a capable and easy to use OS. They look awesome, and serve up content in a way that just works out of the box and... if you use AppleTV/iPhone/HomePod (Apple devices) they implement eachother great. 

Apple's rock.

For the OP, it depends on what you're trying to DO. You said thermals, so I wonder if you're trying to play a bunch of games or build software/develop code??? Depending on what type of horsepower you need I would suggest different levels of my own setup to you. The Thinkpad T420-T440 series can be had from $100-200 and some are even socketed and allow for upgrades to still capable processors. Cheap, linux, good.

If you have money, and possibly other Apple devices, you won't go wrong getting a MacBook Pro. They work, look great and WORK.
