- rbanffy 6y agoTrue, but my Macbook enters "hairdryer mode" every time I push it a little (which is often). I'd like a quieter device without the constant fan noise.
- graeme 6y agoYup. That was the issue. I tried a MacBook pro with an external before my imac pro. It did not like it. I also do audio/video recording, and driving that + my external display really made the fans spin.
- rbanffy 6y agoWhen the apocalypse started my daughter got my "burnerbook", a Fedora-based cheap low-end x86 laptop without a fan or hard disk. I miss the absolutely silent (albeit slow) computing it afforded me.

- rbanffy 6y agoI'm not so sure - ARM and Intel are bound to meet at some point in the power/performance space because both share the same limitations in terms of physics.
