$765.00 USD is a reasonable price, even if it's only 8GB max memory. Would really like to know how hot it runs though, I've been searching for a laptop that stays cool, even when pushed

Their marketing page (with a little more detail) for the same laptop is:

That would be an intentionally throttled laptop, which is not what most people would want. Because if the laptop "stays cool even when pushed", it means it could have been pushed more.

However, if low thermal output is what you want to optimise for, then an M1 macbook air always running on low power mode is a very good candidate, and abundant in second hand market for very good prices. Or any M1/M2/M3 laptop as long as you run it on low power mode.


yea.. but how much you get? 0 to to 8GB, random?

but the wi-fi is "compatibile with wi-fi", which is a pro on my book.


JH7110 uses 5W maxed out, so yes, will run pretty cool. SBCs using the chip don't need active cooling, or even a heatsink.


The new Macs stay really cool
