> What Apple are ahead on is doing this on a fanless laptop that doesn't hit internal temperatures of triple digits.

I think you could pull this off on a Asus G14 in an ultra power saver mode, with the fans off or running inaudibly. The cooling is so beefy they will actually work fanless if you throttle everything down and mostly keep the GPU asleep.

The M chips could certainly sustain image generation better without a fan.
