This laptop has always been the laptop for word processing, basic web browsing and just normal day to day computer usage
I’m pretty sure people use it to do advanced web browsing too…
There’s a whole range of things people do on a computer that doesn’t involve 20 minutes of 100% CPU load but also isn’t just “basic” web browsing and email. Picture stuff, audio stuff, slow-ass shit-optimized apps and processes of various kinds, uh a bunch of Excel formulas.
Sure nitpick at my wording. But that doesn’t change the fact that none of those tasks you mentioned will put the CPU to 100% load for 20+ min, which was the only scenario tested in that video and also the only time that the performance difference from active and passive cooling is significant enough to not be margin of error.
Even at that point, you will still only see a 5% decrease in performance with passive cooling.
My point stands, 99% of air users will never see the benefit of 5% performance increase when at full tilt for extended periods of time. Your advanced web browsing (whatever that means) still wouldn’t benefit from the additional cooling.
