like a fanless chromebook but that can run windows?

I want fanless, (don't ask why).

I've found a machine whose design I like. I want fanless notebook not too expensive. £300 or less is good.

The model whose design(as fanless( and price suits me . The 303, in the UK, xe303c12-a01uk

The only problem is it doesn't run windows.

What alternative notebooks are there that meet my requirements of fanless and price <=£300?

 

Here's a fanless machine that runs Windows.

The alternative is to look for a small refurbished Samsung notebook / netbook and enable the Silent mode which stops the fan running (and also locks the CPU down to minimum speed). You will find that performance is sluggish as a result, but making Windows run smoothly requires effort, and effort generates heat.

Maybe i'll look out for that Fujitsu. But really I want one that can take lots of RAM. So a modern one.

I want to keep this regarding fanless ones but regarding samsung series whatever silent mode. .
The story with samsung silent mode, with my one.

The Dell Minis were fanless. I have the 1018, which was the best and last of them. It has an Atom N455, which overheats far too easily. Windows 7 was too much for it, so I had to install XP.

I monitor the CPU in the taskbar, and when attempting to watch a YouTube video or open more than a few tabs in Chrome, the temperature can reach 80–90°C, at which point it becomes unusable.

If you can learn live with it's limitations, and use it only for minimally demanding tasks, it's tolerable. But I could never recommend this computer to anyone.

I intend to give it an SSD and some new thermal paste in the hopes of cooling it down, so we'll see—it may still have some potential...

 

RAM is very limited in an old laptop.

So even a great design fanless and good processor e.g. a panasonic toughbook (the one company that knows how to make a decent fanless laptop is panasonic.. Some of their toughbooks are fanless. If going back, the RAM is limited. And if current, that range (toughbook) is expensive..

I want upgradable to 16GB RAM, and reasonable price. Not too bothered if a poor processor.
But there's nothing out there.

I have found out that even with Chromebooks the RAM is quite limited and not upgradable, though the also limited OS is low profile and maybe Chrome on Chromebook makes better use of RAM.

A person I spoke to that uses it tends not to open so many tabs that the text disappears. Maybe he opens up to 25 or so and finds it's fine. Though I might want to open a few windows of 25 or so.

The Dell Mini 1018 uses standard DDR3 SO-DIMM, though it only has one slot, so you'll be limited to 8GB until 16GB modules become available.

 

What makes you think that the motherboard will successfully read 16GB if/when a 16GB DDR3 SO-DIMM comes out? Just because it takes DDR3 SO-DIMM doesn't mean it can read any size. The laptop probably has some limit for its RAM slot. Perhaps the limit will be 8GB?

 

Forgot about that... Looks like the limit is 2GB.
