      I have an M2 Macbook Air, which ironically has nothing to move the air about.

      It gets a bit warm if I play any reasonably demanding games on it, but it’s never thrown up any overheating warnings.

          Apple have a long history of making computers that rely on passive cooling. The Power Mac G4 Cube is the prettiest example, though to be fair it was not a good computer, with many people retro fitting fans into them later.

          But they’ve got much better at it since then!
