Apparently it has two fans instead of one now and doesn't overheat like it used to: Another quirk of the first Pixel was that it could get quite noisy and warm while running. No more: Thanks to a revamped cooling system, which features two fans that spin at lower revolutions-per-minute than the original model's single-fan setup, the new Pixel stays near-silent and doesn't get hot while you use it. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2895014/new-chromebook-pixel.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2895014/new-chromebook-...
