Just because it has a fan, doesn't mean it will be on all the time. I 
have an rPI5 with an Active Cooler. The fan only comes on during hot 
days (maybe ambient > 22C) and high CPU. Presumably the laptop compute 
module CPU is similar.


However, it looks a bit pricey, I would get a second hand laptop, instead.
