    I can’t use a fanless device because I compile a lot and sooner or later it will be very hot I fear.

    The M2 Air will not get hot. The chip simply doesn’t use enough power to generate that kind of heat.

      I have a rando Ryzen HP with fans, and my friend’s M1 air does get hotter while gaming / sustained loads lasting 5-15 minutes. And yes the Ryzen does use more power, but it is also less powerful, but not by an insane margin.
