Is this passively cooled (fanless)? null

There is a fan and it is audible if there is no background noise. Mine is almost grindy but again its quiet enough you can't hear it in the presence of any background noise. My air conditioning drowns it out easily. On a side note best buy already has stopped accepting reviews on this chromebook. Looks like they got their tech insider reviews and don't want anyone to talk about any shortcomings. If you try to write one it gives you this: "Thanks for your interest in leaving a review! Sorry, but we’re no longer accepting reviews for this product." So on that note I'll comment on it here and everywhere else if they try to censor this reply :) pros: thunderbolt4 when basically all other Chromebooks don't support thunderbolt at all good ram and nice cpu. (much faster than what you'll get out of a cheaper model) 3:2 screen ratio is nice on a screen this size touchscreen is as responsive as any good tablet cons: previously mentioned fan noise in a quiet environment. (not sure yet if it's just mine) touchpad is good for clicking and somewhat for scrolling but zoom in/out sucks so get an external mouse for when you use it in laptop mode

This device has a fan to cool the Intel 11th gen i5. It is not very loud. It doesn't come on unless under heavy load. Considering the i5 is a quad core chip having a fan is a big plus!!

No, this Chromebook has a cooling fan.

No but it is so quite I assumed the 713 Evo i5 Gen 11 was fan-less for the several days I've owned it. Now that I've put my ear to the bottom I can discern only the slightest whir albeit under light load. No C port on the right side is the only complaint I have so far.
