The category is dominated by Apple&#8217;s MB Air laptops, which, with Apple&#8217;s transition to its in-house M-series processors, banished the fan from the housing for good.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">When the first few Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU-powered Windows laptops became available, there was great hope for a silent future, but this has not (yet) materialized with precious few exceptions, most of them rather old. Intel&#8217;s Lunar Lake processors, which delivered admirable efficiency, also gave rise to some fanless machine expectations, but as things stand, the market has nothing to offer in this respect, either.<br \/>As an alternative to passively cooled laptops, a few select laptops with fans proved to be particularly quiet in our tests.
