Actually you have it backwards. The shuttle's tiles are such great insulators that you can hold a red hot one in your hand without burning yourself. They are really poor conductors of heat. The heat sink idea was rejected due to the excessive weight required to dissipate the amount of heat generated during reentry.

My guess is that ASUS is using an entirely different family of ceramic and this Giz poster just chose some poor examples.

You always want computer parts to be as cool as possible, since it reduces errors and improves the lifetime of components involved. Just because it can work when it's hot doesn't mean it's a good idea.
