In this[0] iFixit teardown (of last year's 13-inch, they don't have one for this year yet, but I assume the inside layout hasn't changed much), the cooling setup is a lot more traditional with a heatpipe from the CPU to the fan. I don't think it'd get a lot of benefit from the watercooling that LTT did (at least, without Apple's power profile taking over and throttling). The only reason I can think of that Apple set up the MacBook Air like that was because it was supposed to be fanless and at the last second they couldn't figure out a way to eek out performance, so they added a fan where it would fit. That doesn't sound much like Apple's engineering though, so I don't know why they did it. 0: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Two+Thun... |
