The fan is IN the device not ON the device so it's actually fanless according to your definition.

Perhaps there is a gray area where ON is synonymous with IN for people who aren't being pedantic, just as fanless is synonymous with cool and quiet for most consumers.



Are you honestly trying to argue my point is invalid because I said fanless means there is no fan on vs. in the device? Seriously?


No, I'm trying to say your point is pedantic.

It's completely valid if you're more concerned about whether the device has a fan than is quiet and cool.


'i' is next to 'o' on a qwerty keyboard. Did you consider that you might be arguing over a typo?
