I was wondering while reading the article. It says that it is a "fanless chassis", so I was asking myself, "That thing still needs the have a CPU fan right?"
I mean, I attempted to build an htpc with a fanless chassis, external PSU brick, SSD and just using the i5 with its integrated GPU.
I figured the only thing in there that generates heat will be the CPU so I "only" need a CPU fan. And even that one is pretty audible if I playback some 1080p files.
Of course, I just picked a regular i5. So I guess it is a desktop CPU with the higher TDP.
Are you saying that this device will actually come with no fan whatsoever and that this Y i5 is giving of so little heat that no active cooling is required?
I would be really interested in that. Looking forward to seeing some measurements of the thing in action. Especially how it fares with "summer temperatures". Would be pretty bad if it enters the dangerous temps during that time of year the room temperature is significantly higher than usual.
