    "One thing the HP Elite x2 1012 G2 doesn’t have? A fanless design. The company says that if you’re looking for a model that uses passive cooling, you should opt for the recently-announced HP Pro x2 612 G2, which is a similar size, shape, and price… but which has a lower-power Intel Kaby Lake-Y (Core M) processor."

    HP’s Elite x2 1012..."The tablet measures about 0.3 inches thick and weighs about 1.9 pounds and features a fanless design. HP says it should get up to 10 hours of battery life."

    Is it that the G2 version has a fan, and the model without the G2 version in the name, is fanless?

    Thanks

    looks like they are both fanless, from speaking to hp sales.

    The G1 is fanless, but the G2 does have a fan.
