Two years ago, a small company called Frore Systems demonstrated an entirely new class of cooling products called the AirJet – this paper-thin device utilizes physics trickery to deliver airflow without the need of any mechanical parts like fans. The company recently announced that it’ll be demonstrated on a laptop for the first time, courtesy of Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 (feat. AirJet)
Samsung will be providing the chassis for this demonstration, which is the Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 laptop featuring Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite SoC. According to Frore Systems’ press release, the laptop in its default configuration features two fans capable of outputting 12 watts of power from the Snapdragon chip. Replace that with four AirJet modules nets an 50% increase in power (from 12 to 18 watts) while freeing up space to fit a battery 16% larger than before (55.9Wh to 64.8Wh), which lasts for 23.2 hours per charge.
Frore Systems also compared the AirJet-powered laptop against the fanless 15-inch MacBook Air: the Galaxy laptop is thinner (10.9mm vs 11.5mm), 50% more powerful (12W vs 18W), and battery lasts 29% longer (18 hours vs 23.2 hours). So far, the numbers sounds like a win-win situation for the Galaxy Book4 laptop: more performance, more battery, and possibly more silent (while AirJet is claimed to be quieter than fans, the company didn’t quote on the noise level for this laptop).
The proof-of-concept will be showcased on the CES 2025 show floor this coming week at Las Vegas, US – it’s unclear if Samsung intends to mass-produce this version of the laptop, but safe to say it’s looking like a pretty convincing offering right now.
Pokdepinion: I personally has been following the progress of the AirJet – good to see it’s starting to take off in the market.
