Dell doesn’t have to make all the components modular and replaceable which makes it a lot easier for them to route airflow with a proprietary one-unit design that throwaways have. Especially when they don’t have to work with a replaceable battery. But, hopefully at some point Framework finds a way to quiet down the beast without so much noise but I think they are fighting the laws of thermal dynamics to get the max performance while having it be compact and small and fully modular. It’s not an easy feat by any stretch of the imagination to balance everything perfectly. However, from everything I’ve read the Framework 16 is a masterpiece compared to the Framework 13 first units. They have definately taken feedback and have come a long way and hope they continue too.
