PreciousPigWhen will we see fanless models? That is one of the defining features of the M1 Air.
shirroI like silent laptops but sometimes I want to max out the power budget and get work done without worrying about thermal throttling. Having a fan and customizable power settings gives users a choice. Apple takes that choice away.
Installing a fan negatively impacts the passive cooling ability, so it’s always a tradeoff.
Apple wanted to make it passively cooled, and it wouldn’t be possible if a fan would be installed alongside passive cooler.
woelkchenI have a 2021 Asus Zephyrus G14 unless I run a game, that thing is running without active cooling. Seems like a solved problem.
Solved for larger laptops.
Macbooks are significantly slimmer, and have way less internal space that could be used to make a combined cooling system that would be passive most of the time.
The G14 is 14 inch and has a dedicated GPU, so without one the cooling requirements are far less.
