Self-Cooling Computers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Compulab Airtop Mini Desktop PC is High-Performance without a Fan

— January 14, 2016 — Tech
Computer systems require fans in order to cool components that inherently generate heat, but the design of the new Compulab Airtop Mini Desktop PC does away with fans without sacrificing power.

Traditional fanless PCs will reach a maximum output of about 20W, but the Compulab Airtop Mini Desktop PC is designed to work to a whopping 200W with ease. The secret to the design is the way that it encourages cool air to be drawn from the bottom, allowing hot air to vent from the top portion and sides.

Subsequently, Compulap has not only been able to supercharge capacities for the PC, but has also made it the quietest available. The elimination of a fan within PCs helps to decrease the number of moving pieces for increased efficiency and portability.
Trend Themes
1. Fanless Computers - The trend of fanless computers is disrupting the computer industry by offering high-performance without the need for noisy fans.
2. Increased Cooling Efficiency - The trend of increased cooling efficiency in computer systems is revolutionizing the way components are cooled, enabling higher power outputs without sacrificing performance.
3. Quiet Computing - The trend of quiet computing is creating innovative opportunities for computer manufacturers to design noise-free, fanless PCs that are more efficient and portable.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Hardware - The computer hardware industry can benefit from the trend of fanless computers by developing more efficient cooling systems and innovative designs for high-performance PCs.
2. Electronics Manufacturing - The electronics manufacturing industry can capitalize on the trend of increased cooling efficiency in computer systems by creating innovative cooling solutions for various electronic devices.
3. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can embrace the trend of quiet computing by designing fanless PCs and other devices that offer a noise-free and more enjoyable user experience.
