On the cooling side of things, it has the Active Aerodynamic System (AAS), where a special vent opens underneath the chassis when the lid is lifted in order to let the laptop draw in more air. The AAS intake measures at 5mm which stretches across the entire back of the body to improve airflow by 22% compared to traditional laptop designs.

Inside the laptop itself, it has a total of five heat pipes which pulls heat away from the components as well as the VRM circuitry that feeds them power. Thermal energy is the channeled along the heat pipes to four heatsinks and exhaust vents at the rear corners. It is said to be twice as many as the original Zephyrus laptop.
