    I don’t get the point of the video

    Other than…”Hey, you can mod a MacBook Air that uses less power and has fan-less cooling and take some things out of it that are needed and add another fan-less cooling tech that requires more power to get a slight processing power increase and burn your lap while using it. But hey!, it can be done!”

    What a waste of time.

    And to pose the question that Apple should use this tech? Why would they want the liability, reduced quality and sacrifice the lower power solution they have now?

      Uhh… because their current cooling sucks? You saw that flimsy aluminium heatsink, right? Not even the decency to offer copper + a vapor chamber in a thin and light $1500 device, that is crazy. And this is just at 15W on the newest 3nm chip, 120°C package temperature – it’s insane, Intel was given way more crap for managing similar temps with a higher power budget.
