Bill- a fan costs little energy

<I wonder how much battery life you lose due to that big cooling fan and the wasted heat energy.>

Bill, a dedicated cpu fan is a little jewel of a gizmo! Very cool looking little machine. They use practically no power (small fractions of a watt), compared to the 40 Watt (Snail Cooking!) cpu. Battery drain is negligible.

The problem is reliability. if your $5.00 mechanical fan fails, your whole cpu goes up in a poof of smoke!
