Hello Community,

I'm searching for a fanless Laptop, that is supported from the manufacture with Windows 7 (drivers).

Does someone of this community know of such a laptop or does even use such a laptop that he can mention me?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Greetings from Germany!

Certain models.

Just wanna make sure you are aware... fanless=lower performance than a comparable fan model. Fanless priority is quiet and better battery life. Is a trade-off.
 
10 years ago my last laptop upgrade I asked for same thing and people said then "you are crazy, no such thing exists" Toshiba made a fanless in the late 90/early 2000 but no Wintel vendor since then. I ended up with a 2011 MacBook Air, while not fanless is silent when surfing and I can only hear it when pushed, but still very civilized, then last few years Apple actually came out with true fanless.

I too can't stand fan noise, my desktops are heatpipe/big heatsinks/fanless, cost me pretty dollars but I don't care, I buy what I like.
