We’ve made the MacBook Air cooler many times, but with the help of Frore Systems this time Apple should pay attention.

get rgb pc, and still extra cash in pocket
Integrate it into Framework laptop
I love how everyone praise apple for the quality of its product, yet most of them have noticeable and limiting problems
Omg Linus hired "hello ur computer has virus" guy
Before you waste your time, it’s a sponsored bs. And don’t bother yourself, you they adding fan to it. Oh yes, the jet is a fan
With the amount of work this takes, and the amount of destruction to the laptop… why not just buy a mac mini instead? I think it's even cheaper than the MBA anyway
Linus should consider investing in a laptop company so they could implement this
we fixed the macbook air by making it completly ****ing unusable.
cooling like that (more powerful though maybe) would finally make those slim laptops not be extremely dumb. i'd rather have a laptop that's a cm thicker and a couple 100g heavier but is not as limited by the lackluster cooling than such a thin thing. i really hope we'll see properly cooled thin laptops in the future thanks to those modules
That molykote is toxic af. Always wear gloves with it. It even tells you not to wash clothes contaminated with it because it kills fish.
So the Macbook Air, by default, moves no air.
This is such a weird video, feels like a sponsored, sell out vid and very obvious that frore guy is standing just off screen… I also find absolutely destroying a perfectly good MacBook Air really really bizarre and barely even acknowledging it. ‘Oh it’s just the charger. Oh it’s just the keyboard. Oh it’s just Touch ID’…. As if anyone would actually do it?
Remember when Linus absolutely shit on some company producing a solid copper cooler for being total waste of money impractical and he cannot recommend? How is this any different?
14:27 I feel this in my soul 🤣🤣🤣
Solid state cooling is a scam. You used 3Watts to remove 15Watts of heat. Fan can remove three times of that heat using two times less power.
Apple Never will though. As a capitalist business they dont have to get their main income from repairs or upgrades. The systems themselves retail for so much why would they ever try to revolutionize the market when the average apple consumer is more common to buy a whole nother new system for thousands. They never will and I will continue to buy windows pcs and use worse production software because as a corporation apple is and always will be disgusting.
Imagine if it comes to pro version like it's pro but it's slim instead of adding this feature to air
I wonder how hot they get under stress test (before the thermal installation)
And what about this to cool a RPI5 ?
What is this, a model y?
This means it wouldn't break so often as they want it to.. so the Apple will never approve this
Just dumb…and I'm not an 🍏 fan. If this could have been done AND kept 100% functionality, this would have been a BRAVO moment.
Riley actually makes me want to watch the sponsor segments 😂
14:26 really hoped you'd pull out one of the new mini sabres, blowtorch is also fine though xD
Apple would be selling less pro after doing this
Linus: Look at us f*g up the laptop to make this piece of garbage run a little bit longer before it thermal throttles.
I'm not from Apple, but 5% (8100 to 8600) gain in performance and 5° C less near the CPU — is not worth it
bold guess: they do care but chose to dismiss moving air cause no single air user will de-dust the macbook.
I mean sure there's a reason why mbp's still use fans they are often properly cared for (or serviced at apple stores) while air's are thrown around in filthy student backpacks for years. of course that's just my experience 😀
I work in retail. People who use a Ridge Wallet take 70% longer to pay than people with leather wallets. In some cases, they take 10 times as long, always unable to locate their photo ID or their desired pay card in any meaningful way.
What about the impact on batterie ? I don't want to defend Apple but it seems like a very small upgrade in performance but we don't know the impact on batterie life … Sooo …. does it make sense ?
Exactly 20 minutes and 20 seconds 😂
Awesome tech. Potentially game changing. But I worry about how quickly those intake filters will clog with dust
So, a 4 billion dollar company still cannot get it right when making tech?, wow, this is why I always insist upon saying "F*ck Apple".
Linus makse an impact on the world!
what if you fabricate a new back cover rather than removing all the cable. Make the back little bigger and fit it there. you have the tools use it.
Apple should watch this video.
No offence ridgeway but in Australia the price is stupidly high
i have a computer power supply (500w) which is used to power my car stereo in my home , but now its not working but it turns on and the fan spins for a moment and then its shuts off what can be the problem ? i can buy a new one but as am a diploma holder in electronics i would like to troubleshoot the problem and fix it can you help me out? the voltage line i have been using is 12v and the current rating is 15 amps in the smps , the stereo i am using is a 200watt quad channel stereo system . please help me out , if you can make a video about how to troubleshoot and how to repair the problem whould be helpful for everyone including me.🙂
optional fan for MacBook Air be like 1000 usd add-on package
I am generally a bit confused about when people are concerned about the air thermal throttling. Like, it's fine. It's not for sustained heavy loads…it's totally okay that the soc is a bit overpowered. That's not a bad thing.
great…but how much of a problem would be expected from the dust filters getting clogged?
I love that Alex is wearing an Edison Motors hat, and hope this means some content/collab with them
I am more and more convinced that Linus is turning into a modern Red Green.
u should upload this video before the M3, maybe they will do this on M3 😔
Need more things cooled with the air jet
