It's a fair question to ask. I have tinnitus at ~30 because of loud poor-thermal expensive work laptops. My work Dell's fan gets really loud, to the point where I can't bear sitting next to it.
I got desperate as they couldn't do anything about it at work (nor could I). So, on the 22nd December, I went to look for an MBA as I'm now sensitive to even the slightest fan noise. At that time, there was a shortage of stock, so I didn't have much choice.
I don't actually know if there's a 16GB option, as all I'm finding in my country is the 8GB.
Nonetheless, even for the iMac, I think a max of 32GB would have been reasonable,

- nevi-me 6y agoHow loud does a computer fan get when running at 100% fan, with a high pitch almost like a drill, in your experience? I've just tested with a sound meter app on my phone; granted this isn't the most accurate way of doing it. Silent in my room: 30db Fan on while running and GPU is activated: max 90db. I wish a computer manufacturer could guarantee what you're saying, because I could get a letter from my ENT doctor, take precise measurement; and sue the manufacturers for damaging my hearing.
- viklove 6y agoYour computer fan is as loud as a lawn mower? You can't have a conversation in your room while your fan is running? What?
- subsection1h 6y agoI have tinnitus as a result of running a 20" fan near my bed during one summer nine years ago.
