    Uuuh, the cooling in macbook airs and ipads is just passive aircooling, like in all phones and all other “normal” tablets.

      There’s no rule against using active cooling for tablets and phones, only practicality. This technology seems like it might be practical enough to use in compact devices such as those, but we’ll see if that’s true.

        I’d be surprised if they can keep phones with this waterproof and dust proof. Laptops I can see, phones not so much.

          Yeah I can only see this being used as an external phone cooler or maybe for niche ‘gaming phones’ that would otherwise have a fan

      Well passive heat exchanger works as long as your device doesn’t have big power/TDP on it like office laptop, mobile phone, etc.
