The Intel Macbooks had woefully underdesigned cooling solutions. They're also less efficient than the model demonstrated here.

This "airjet" is a kind of almost solid state fan using membranes to generate airflow. They may be able to perform similarly to normal fans with less noise and a smaller physical footprint, but they still need to get that air moving through a heatsink somehow. I don't think it'll work for laptops that are designed to thermal throttle after a few seconds.



A 2015 MacBook is also approximately 10x less powerful at max capacity than a 2023 laptop, so it has to work much harder to achieve the same result.
