Anecdata: I've never experienced any noticeable annoyance with my T470p (i7-6820HQ) but with my new (old) NUC with an i3-3217U every time you go compile some Rust or C++ it's already a bit annoying (I'm running xfce and Firefox on it, it's perfectly usable - but I wouldn't want to compile all day on it).
