fanless
Passively cooled device
Fanless describes devices that cool themselves without mechanical fans, relying instead on passive heat dissipation through heat sinks or thermal design: a fanless laptop, fanless PC.
The appeal is silent operation and fewer moving parts to fail.
Some fanless designs run hotter or throttle performance under heavy load.
