Personally I think fanless solutions are somewhat niche for stationary computers.

True, it’s a somewhat niche use case where you e.g. need total silence or are in a very dusty environment. But I guess often times the solution is to just place it somewhere else and lay some cables.

Laptops (not to mention smartphones) is a whole different story.

I really wish we would see more fanless laptops. Processors have imo improved far enough, especially in recent times, that you get enough performance for the average consumer. And being fanless is just such a nice feature.
