TLDW: This video shows this device called the “Frore AirJet”, which is an active cooler that uses piezoelectrics rather than fans to push air through at 1700 pascals.
The LTT team had to do a lot of modifications (remove the speakers to use the speaker vents for airflow, and remove the MagSafe port, one USB-C port, the keyboard’s input cables, and the Wi-Fi antenna), but they were able to get the following results:
you are pulling significantly more power for a tiny performance bump, so less “power on time” for the same device
that computer he’s trying to make exists and called MacBook Pro m2. Now MacBook Pro m3
Why would they degrade the user experience for MacBook Air while increasing performance on LONG and intense applications, a case NOT expected by the MacBook Air customer and also step on the toes of MacBook Pro.
This product is dumb and good thing it doesn’t exist lol.
You actually don’t know what you’re talking about, why are Apple fanatics so confidently ignorant. It’s performing BETTER because it has a higher thermal headroom and still runs cooler. You’re literally complimenting Apple for have poor thermals with your roundabout logic. Astonishing the mental gymnastics you’re pulling off.
It’s performing 5-7% better for 30% less battery life while a similarly priced, slightly more expensive 14 inch MacBook has much better cooling and better features with even more battery life. This doesn’t solve a problem it makes the air a worse product by lowering battery. The air is for nothing more than light work. I can’t imagine anyone who wants one of those would say “yes I’d rather have 30% less battery life for 5% more performance and 1 C cooler on the chassis”.

I don’t get it. Based on the results wouldn’t using more Watts be worse?
All that for a relatively tiny bump? I thought it would be a lot more drastic

the 13" macbook pro is no longer being made, so you can’t get this sustained performance in M3 and newer
The MacBook Pro now has the base M3 available.
