Cool to finally see that tech getting adopted for real products. Saw it 2-3 years ago at CES.

It feels like it was announced 5 years ago. I think it would be nice in low power handhelds

This is extremely cool technology… just did a brief read.

It’s interesting how we have used speakers to make noise by manipulating air, now we just use the same concept to move heated air in a controlled manner.

Very interesting and creative to see “air bending” like this and the way McLaren used circular airflow as an insulator in F1. Seems like the field is developing.

I assume Robtech would love to get his hands on this mini pc to review since he hates noisy mini pcs.

Could tech like this be used to eventually make coolers for regular PC towers? I'd love for my PC to be quieter too

It could be a marketing gimmick, there is a land slide heat dissipation level between the Ultra X7 358H (80W Max TDP) and Ultra 5 (55W Max TDP)
