I think people are focussing too much on the specific machine and concluding this wouldn't be worth it for the Air.

I don't think it would make business sense in that making the Air equivalent to the Pro wouldn't be a thing Apple would do.

I think it's more of an opportunity to make the Pro line thinner / pack in more battery etc...

Too much focus on the Air rather than what the overall technology could open up.

    I agree, hence my suggestion to put this in a new 13in pro of some sort. The air doesn't really need this improvement, but other laptops definitely can benefit from it. I really don't understand why so many people since M1 air have been criticizing the air's cooling performance, it really doesn't matter to the userbase it's targeted at. Id definitely describe myself as a power user, it doesn't bother me cause the job of my air is as it was intended for; word processing, homework and a thin and light laptop to carry all day.
