Most non-gaming laptops since 2010 don't really make noticeable noise

    no, even in 2020 Intel Macs were noisy compared to apple silicon Macs.

    How can fanless intel macbook air make noise?

    Only the MacBook 12 was fanless from the Intel era, but I’m not too sure about that. Airs were never fanless while being Intel.

    Unfortunately, yes. I’m looking for a compact laptop, a typing machine of a kind, I’d use for typing texts in nvim. So I don’t care how slow it is, but I’d like it to be thin and light, with USB C adapter for charger. Even the battery life is not something I need to be high, all I care for it to handle a single writing session, of an hour or two. Ideally, I’d prefer the laptop to be cheap, I don’t need a typing machine for a grand. This laptop could be perfect for the task, yet it’s a disaster. So far, one of the best laptops I could find is a used MacBook Air 11, can get one for €50 to €100 these days.

    They had fans in the Pro, nobody mentioned the Air specifically in this thread. The Air at that time had a crappy Y series Intel CPU in order to go fanless.

    intel airs did have fans anyway. when they switched to apple silicon they removed the fans.

    The 12” macbook (not air or pro) was fanless but it was a severely gimped CPU and had major issues.

    Ah okay I assumed that since the last Intel Airs used the same shitty Y series Intel CPUs they were also fanless. Now that I'm thinking though - those Airs were the ones that had fans that never really blew at the heatsink
