Without fan? no Look at the picture.

Either different versions of this computer or people can't hear this fan frequency. I asked if it was fanless and several people swore it was. This is clearly not true. (see photo) This is a fan that generates noise and does not make this unit fanless. There are certain uses for this product that would be great (such as an outdoor computer in a humidity-controlled environment) if it were truly fanless. what this fan is not really. That's less than my 2015 MacBook Pro, which has all fans running at full power all the time. At least my Mac is silent, it's just on. If you put it behind your TV I'm sure you'd be fine, but for all the folks who keep saying it's fanless, it's not. (Teardown note: I love the simplicity of this form factor and design, wish it was fanless)
