If O’L Koala Bear (Tim Cook) didn’t have a raging LGBTT Boner for Linus before, he sure as silver-fox does now!
If Linus ever got thrown out and needed a place to park his pink motorcycle. I’m sure there’d be plenty of Eucalyptus waiting for him at the bottom of the Apple tree.
It’s a shame the aids epidemic shutdown all the steam rooms in the Bay Area, would of been a great venue for a lan. Who even knows how to move a career forward in these modern steam-less environments?
lol you are trying to fix machine that looses 5% in results in long cinebench test due to thermal throttling and has no thermal throttling in real life in average use. Instead please fix intel and AMD processors architecture so the could even work without fan. Sorry it is more like stupid hype video achieving little to none by ruining mackbook. And by the way – sorry but looks like this airjets have similar cooling performance as just adding thermal pads to dissipate heat to MacBook backplate from this small initial plate.
9:44 Pretty important context for anyone with engineering background wondering wtf they're trying to achieve. This episode is a joke. A properly designed heat spreader+airjet interface would've been much more potent than treating them as exhaust fans, hell airflow weren't even guided through the fins judging from the 0.5 second in which they showed the final assembly at an angle.
Instead of sacrificing keyboard,magsafe why not get rid of bottom cover,3d print new one with adjustments you need ,slap it on to macbook and have cooling and all the features as well
Honestly, I don't like the idea of fans on a macbook air, i want my macbook air to be completely silent, and if i wanted to put on some heavy load, i wouldnt use a MacBook air.
Apple doesnt need to fix this. The apple users just need to buy a new one when the one they own breaks. Ez fix. They just need to keep over paying for trash products
Would like to see if you plug out the pd for the jetBoards..i expect you will get nearly close results.. +you mentioned you can hear the airJets working.. how does it sound?
I do not see the point of these if you have to destroy the MacBook Air to install them. A better solution is not buy an MacBook Air isn the first place if it has cooling issues.
You guys got it flipped. I’ve closely followed Apple’s every move for the past 20 years. This uses more power, and it decreases the performance delta between the MBA and the MBP. Apple doesn’t want either of these things. Where everyone goes wrong is thinking that Apple competes with their competition. At Apple, they mostly compete with themselves and how they market each product to slot it into a category. The MBA is for users who don’t give a crap about performance, but want all day battery. These users never see sustained loads.
When someone wants performance, Apple upsells them to the MBP. What I see Apple doing is putting a beefier version of this in the MBP. I have the 14” M3 Max 16/40 with 64GB unified memory. The fans can get pretty loud under sustained load. Reading forums, this is the biggest complaint I’ve seen in the community. That and the 14” performance under load falls behind 16” model over time and the 14” battery isn’t as long-lasting.
If they put this in the MBP, they might be able to do it for less power and in less internal volume than fans. I would need to see the numbers, but that could be a big win. Especially for the 14” model, which could get a larger heat sink to compensate and maybe even a few hundred more mAh of battery capacity. For the 16” model, they are at max capacity for airline regulations on battery but could potentially make the device slightly thinner or lighter, which is great for a 16” device. And making both silent for professionals would be a huge win.
One question remains: Can this tech be scaled up for a larger system with higher TDP without hitting the battery harder than a fan? If not, then I don’t see this happening until this companies redesigns the product to be more efficient.
Also, you know what other Apple devices I could see this being used in? Vision Pro and iPad Pro. They might be able to cool a Vision Pro with M3 or M4 Pro using this. I doubt it will stay on standard M-series forever, it will at least graduate to the M Pro-series in the coming years while the M-series drops down to the Vision Air or whatever.
BTW the Vision Pro is getting the M3, Apple just couldn’t announce it yet. It’s gonna be a surprise.
its all about marketing and upselling the same product… if the air lineup performed same as pro lineup whats the point of selling the latter one?! technically it may be a question of engineering, but economically the add up a huge margin on the pro lineup by allowing the cpu perform better and throwing in some extra software stuff…
so.. im a desk top windows user and i justt bought a macbook air (this exact one) and im more than happy with my purchase ive been using an i pad for university stuff and the MacBook air is and the i pad pro m2 are such a good combo and ive payed less than a new surface studio and the two devices harmonize together like they where one so dont hate apple show the good side of the products
lol… sooo. Destroy all the BASIC capabilities of a laptop and try to tell the billion dollar company that they should try and integrate it in a nondestructive way… like changing the ENTIRE architecture of a thin and light in order to gain 5degrees and 600pt in a task it’s not built for 🤦🏾♂️. Tech is going really slow nowadays so I suppose just make a video about anything 🤷🏾♂️
i don't think it's a macbook air product, it's a pro thing. You get just a bit to the end user, cuz it's rare for a normal person to get a long task that requires processing that much. But this as a replacement for the fans we already have on pros would be a big improvement, but only if it becames cheaper
Among his many talents, we now know that Linus can, in fact, change race 12:03
would thermal pads do anything?

Apple engineers watching the video "Look how they massacred my boy 😥"

Great video. I like seeing how new tech could be used to improve things
loved the bit with the linus doing voodoo smoke around the laptop xD

Can you also use a CNC machine to create a new backplate that adds around 500 microns of space in order to maintain the functionality?

The computer is not suitable for today in terms of 4 GB memory
I love that Alex is reping Edison Motors merch, they're a terrific company.
the future yes, but right now many house with lots of compromise and little improvement.
this is the future
I thought you got canceled.
A2D Soldiers Watching this video 👍👍
linus is that cumpulsive lying nerd friend we all have
It finally happened Linus is worshipping Apple products.
Would like to see if you plug out the pd for the jetBoards..i expect you will get nearly close results.. +you mentioned you can hear the airJets working.. how does it sound?
what's temperature app linus group use here?
I think you have it backwards, apple always copys now and is always behind. They are just now adopting type c …….
As a big fan and abuser of sarcasm, I love some quiet comments Linus makes. “What is this, a Model Y?” 😄
I do not see the point of these if you have to destroy the MacBook Air to install them. A better solution is not buy an MacBook Air isn the first place if it has cooling issues.
Something tells me this might void the warranty.

12:04 Linus got a tan apparently
Stealing work from Rossmann. Still no shame 😅
Welcome back Linus. Ive missed you
its all about marketing and upselling the same product… if the air lineup performed same as pro lineup whats the point of selling the latter one?! technically it may be a question of engineering, but economically the add up a huge margin on the pro lineup by allowing the cpu perform better and throwing in some extra software stuff…
does anyone else think Alex is fine af or is it just me? like Jesus
What a waste 😢
One question – is it patented? Or it is cheaper to hire engineers from original company?
Suddenly Linus has tan fingers.
so.. im a desk top windows user and i justt bought a macbook air (this exact one) and im more than happy with my purchase ive been using an i pad for university stuff and the MacBook air is and the i pad pro m2 are such a good combo and ive payed less than a new surface studio and the two devices harmonize together like they where one so dont hate apple show the good side of the products
The best place for an Apple computer is in a trash can 🙂
i love fanless design! But linus…
lol… sooo. Destroy all the BASIC capabilities of a laptop and try to tell the billion dollar company that they should try and integrate it in a nondestructive way… like changing the ENTIRE architecture of a thin and light in order to gain 5degrees and 600pt in a task it’s not built for 🤦🏾♂️.

All keyboard are mechanical
So glad to see this technology continue to get traction, truly the dopest tech for small electronics in development
Fixed it by sacrificing keyboard and magsafe. Great job.😂
