Does the MacBook Air have a cooling fan? - TheTominator - 01-16-2008
The title says it all.
I'm wondering if they have switched to having it passively cooled entirely.
If so, this would mean that those consumers who opt for the more expensive solid state hard drive would have a notebook computer with no moving parts at all. With an LED backlight and aluminum chassis, it sounds pretty rugged.

No fan.

If you watch the Keynote video and Steve shows the innards of the MBA, there appears to be a very small cooling fan that sits on top of the circuit board.
Check out that part of the Keynote video.

Agreed. Look near the top center.

Start watching at about 01:02:38, he even refers to the fan as "the cooling system".
