AirJet showcases 50% performance boost, larger battery and silent operation in Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge
Frore Systems is positioning AirJet as an alternative to conventional cooling fans. The system uses ultrasonic vibrations to generate airflow, promising to deliver much more effective cooling than fully passive thermal solutions. Additionally, it not only requires less space than conventional fans but also enables devices to run almost silently.
AirJet is already being used in some products, such as the Zotac Zbox Pico mini-PC. In this case, however, the AirJet only needs to cool an Intel Core i3-N300, a processor with fairly modest performance. Currently, there isn’t any laptop equipped with AirJet. Perhaps to win over laptop manufacturers for the technology, Frore Systems has modified a Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 by replacing the two fans inside with four AirJet Mini Slim units.
The AirJet allows the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite to run at 18 watts instead of 12 watts under sustained load, boosting performance by 50% – at least according to Frore Systems. In our in-depth review of the laptop, the ARM chip was already drawing 25 watts of power at full CPU and GPU load. The company is silent about whether the AirJet Mini Slim is capable of handling such thermal load.
At any rate, four AirJet Mini Slims are 45% smaller than the two fans originally installed in the ultrabook, meaning the battery size could potentially increase from 55.9 Wh to 64.8 Wh. Frore Systems says the Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 with AirJet is thinner, faster and more efficient than a 15-inch MacBook Air. However, the company is basing their claim on very selectively chosen data. Ultimately, we’ll only know whether the AirJet can actually offer such significant advantages over conventional fans when the technology makes its first appearance in a commercially available laptop.
