I would imagine there are some new windows laptops that have seriously tackled the issue. Sinks to liquid cooling, I couldn't get them quite silent enough for recording in the control room. Quiet is nice, but cemeteries are very quiet too -)įWIW after trying all sorts of cooling schemes in PCs, from oversized blades w/ massive heat
That temp they will last maybe 10 times longer. Chips will work fine near their rated max temp,īut the internals, and external solder joints, will fail after N hours. Their operating temperature, and it makes perfect sense. It's an engineering fact that most devices, even light bulbs, have a failure rate that's proportional to Lewis Rossman opines that their slick look with tiny openings is a poor trade-off for chip life. There are consistent reports of the Apple laptops failing due to chips' long term overheating.

SMCfan is a great free utility that lets you adjust your fans. I even thought about installing hackintosh on some non Apple notebook. I know they can't be powerful like the ones with stronger CPU and a fan, but meanwhile I'm ready to sacrifice the performance, just to get rid of the f***** noise.ĭon't know which is better: the newest MP Air or Macbook 12", both having no fans. That's why my eyes are on the fanless machines. So, mixing late at night on my couch is a pain with a notebook worth 3k+ Just google and you'll find out they still haven't solved that noise issue even in the newest 2017 models. I've been using MBP for 10y and I hate the fan noise they still produce. KAVery curious, which model (year) do you have? Note that I've been doing this for a long time and I'm more of the style who work a lot on the source(synth programming, mic placement, etc) so I never have tracks that needs 6-7 inserts or 4-layers synth bass tracks to make it sound good. It was helped with my UAD stuff but even without it I'm sure it would have been ok, seeing the CPU meter. I'm not a power user and not an orchestral composer so the Air was running 16-24 tracks projects without breaking a sweat.
I've run Logic X for a while with a MBA i7 with 8 Gb of ram with success.
