Has anyone here looked at, or purchased, a one up rpi laptop? I've
read a few reviews of it and, while it appears to be a solid product,
I'm a bit turned off by the cooling fan next to the heat sync. Is that
fan absolutely necessary for users never intending on overclocking the
cpu? The laptop currently in use has an Intel Pentium N3540 and is
typically idle because the majority of work is on a pi3b+ via
ssh. Looking to replace it. The CPU is typically idle and memory
utiliation is roughly ten percent.

One attractive feature that attracted me to the platform is fanless
operation. And considering the age of the platform, I am new at
this. The decision to transition to pi computing has been the biggest
and best decision I've made since early adult years. I'd like a pi
laptop but would like a fanless operation at the same time.

What say you all?
