    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?

      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)

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