When are fanless notebooks coming?

The Transmeta Crusoe CPU was developed at a time when Intel wasn't giving enough attention to power management. However, it withered away when Intel woke up.

As for the review date, I don't think it was ever officially posted, hence no date (and I didn't know it was even on the site until Google found it a few minutes ago). I bought the P2020 in January 2002.

Personally, I would now look to ARM to give adequate processing capacity with minimal power consumption.

Definitely. ARM is good like that. The Cortex A9 is going to be beast.

 

It has been done

yup there was also a water coled m17 but i mean in a commecialy availible system

 

But I just don't really see how that would do anything to improve the cooling, not to mention the added weight and complexity.

 

There. I fixed that for ya.

 

What could possibly go wrong with a liquid cooled notebook?

 

And I still don't see how it would cool better, let alone not add weight and volume, be less reliable and far riskier, and add extra cost to the laptop.

 

If you didn't get the /sarcasm in my last post, I apologize.

I can't see any feasible way to get it to fit in a normal chassis unless it was a Sager or Alienware. You would need a pump, radiator, fans, waterblock and hosing. How you gonna fit all that? Plus with fans it might as well just be air cooled..

 

I did. What I posted was adding to what you were saying.
