Pixelbook does not have a fan. Will that be okay? IDEs suck up a lot of resources and tend to heat up a lot. I was thinking about Pixelbook till someone raise this up. what's your opinion?

Using the Xiaomi Notebook 12 inch without a fan. Surprisingly, 4GB with 2 NVME drives is good enough for me. This is switching from xps 13 i7 with 8GB ram.

My one supports NVME in both slots so I don't know what other people on the internet who are saying the 12 inch doesn't support NVME are on about. I have the Kaby Lake version.

I have a 8GB swap which I guess is fast enough as its on the second NVME.

I would imagine the passive cooling ought to work well enough given the hardware they've put in it.
