CoolingQuiet or silent in everyday use; Notebookcheck measured about 41-42 dB(A) in Auto and 52-54 dB(A) in High Power mode under load. Notebookcheck says the M5 Max version's cooling only handles about 70 W sustained, and the battery still drains under full load even when plugged into the 140W charger.
