I appreciate a light whoosh from a laptop.

No fan = leaving performance on the table due to lacking thermal headroom.

  • If I wanted maximum performance I would use a desktop.

    • When the M5 Mac Mini Pro 64GB RAM and more release, I'd like to seamlessly mesh the Neo to the Mini the way Plan 9 imagined. And, a payment would be all that you need to expand on the cloud.

      Happy to see Gerbil Scheme occupies 4GB RAM use on the Neo while building.

  • So what? The right amount of performance is what allows you to do what you have to do quickly enough. Anything beyond that is useless. It’s not like you have to use 100% of the theoretical performance of a computer all the time.

I have no problem if it is the occasional spin up, but it is rare to have system that can do just that.

My Thinkpads seem to only use the fan occasionally but then my work load is very light.
