    Counterpoint: stop trying to make laptops thinner and implement realistic and functional air cooling

      Well there’s no shortage of those, and they’re unusually cheaper too (unless they’re specced out). I prefer a thin silent one myself, so I welcome this innovation.

        My laptop and older phone has this and it really does help with the added surface area.

        The only issue is if you go full throttle, the section right above the CPU can fry your hand lol.

        Although I only ever reached that temp doing stupid crap like hashing.

      Or we innovate 🤷

      It isn’t a given that every device needs a fan anymore. For example non intel MacBook air.
