Does Lenovo’s fanless AeroBlade laptop work without active cooling?

Published

Verdict
False
Verification confidenceHigh

Explanation

No. Lenovo’s Project AeroBlade concept removes conventional cooling fans, but it still uses an active cooling system.

Lenovo identifies that system as Active Flow, powered by Frore Systems’ AirJet technology. Frore describes pulsating air jets that carry heat out of compact enclosures.

AeroBlade remains a proof of concept. Its design demonstrates a different cooling approach; it does not establish the battery life, performance or availability of a finished retail laptop.

Key takeaway

A laptop can be fanless and still actively move air to remove heat.
