Once again you are ignoring my point. The Air could be better without active cooling. The passive cooling solution in place is intentionally poorer that it could be so as to limit the performance. That’s fairly standard for Apple. It doesn’t mean that the Air is a bad laptop just that it’s purposefully held back by Apple design choice.
I know Apple sells a model tailored to heavier load. The point of limiting the performance of the Air is to not cannibalise its sell numbers too much.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoI’m not entirely convinced that they could have done so without another trade off. Yes they could have made the heat transfer from the cpu/gpu to the chassis better. So it could make better use of that bottom plate to dissipate heat. But the cost of that would have been a laptop that is warmer/hotter to the touch. Idk how much hotter it would be, but I’m sure there’ll be a YouTuber or two who will test it out and less us know. Maybe it’s only 1-2C, maybe it’s 15-20. It’d accept 1-2C, but I would not accept 15-20.
