after using the m1 air, I’m sold on arm
it doesn’t have fans so no complaints of noise (my old laptop gave me ptsd of fan noise and I’ve also heard framework 12th having fan noise as it has a single fan coupled with a p-series processor)
I’d love to see amd/intel make an arm chip as microsoft also seems to pick-up the windows on arm thing
that’s because apple uses arm chips which are much more power efficient than Intel and amd’s x86 chips
it mostly uses 15-20 watts or around that which is easy to dissipate than 45-50 watt Intel and amd produces which requires fan
I’ve heard even the most powerful m1 max chip doesn’t need fan when video editing (which can go for continuous 6 hrs on battery and you don’t see a performance hit when charging or on battery)
Buy a framework laptop instead!

I don’t think there are any laptops that have no fans. What if you have a workload that exists, is the cpu just supposed to overheat?

The MacBook Air with the M2 chip is fanless as well. If it gets to hot, performance is downgraded.
