2012 rMBP (they completely reengineered the heat distribution in the retinas). I've had all CPU cores at maximum load and the GPU churning for extended periods doing heavy video encoding on multiple occasions, it gets pretty hot, and the fans scream, but it's never had actual running issues due to the heat.

Apple addressed these issues, very publicly, giving an anecdote from 7 year old hardware is still not a great data point for the current state of their hardware.

I have no issues with anything except Word. Video encoding and other fairly intensive things run just fine, Word bring the computer to its knees to the point where I can tell if it has been open. A restart is always required.
