A laptop that's fanless? Is that real? Or do they call it fanless because it's very quiet? The wikipedia article for fanless design redirects to quiet which to me suggests some people use the term in this way.
- eptcyka 2y agoThe air makes do with but a heatsink, no fans. After all, the same chip works just fine in fanless iPads.
- coffeefirst 2y agoNo there’s really no fan. It can throttle performance if it starts to overheat but I’ve only seen that happen when I was sitting outside.
- adamomada 2y agoAlready confirmed but it’s legit one of the best features of all time: a completely silent portable computer. Second-best is a mobile-first portable computer, that you don’t have to worry about having it plugged in except for an hour or so every ~day of usage. These things don’t really show up in any kind of stats but I can say that they change the definition of computing for humans (vs. data centre servers, etc)
