"Smart toaster" was an accidental feature of some Apple products.

I used to have a MBP laptop that basically doubled as a "smart" toaster, giving me something close to a sun burn if I used it on my lap. Even lap pads would warm to uncomfortable levels after a short usage time, until I found one with aerogel insulation.



My Dell consistently reached 100 deg. Celsius (212 F), even if I opened the browser with just 10 tabs.
