the company wound up removing the speakers, Wi-Fi antenna, and even the Mac’s internal keyboard connector along the way.
They only did this to make room for the demonstration unit, to show how it would affect noise/cooling. A real application would not need such compromise.
This exactly, if Apple was using this tech to cool the air, it would be engineered to fit.
Unfortunately, the Air line I think has been advertised as fanless since the first 11" using super low powered Intel laptop CPU’s right? Also they’re segmenting their performance tiers by cooling capacity!

The M1 MBA was the first iteration to go fanless, they used ULV Intel CPUs but even those need fans.
