ELI5 why do laptops get hot and tablets don't?

My netbook gets hot and noisy while watching a YouTube video as my iPad in a same situation stays cool to touch - why is this?

The iPad uses much weaker hardware, it's still sufficient to do most tasks but with much lower power consumption and thus less heat waste as well. The amount of heat is directly related to the power consumption and efficiency. It's a bit like how a car will use more fuel than a motorcycle even when both of them are just carrying one person, but the car could potentially carry 4 or 5 people while the motorcycle wouldn't be able to.
