Fanless All-in-One PCs: What They Are
A fanless all-in-one PC is a computer that cools its processor through a passive heatsink instead of a fan. The display, processor, memory and storage sit in one compact unit. Because no fan moves air through the case, there are no moving parts to wear out and no fan noise.
