Not just Applel engineering desu, you can congratulate Intlel for some of the housefires as well.

Isn't there a tube or something to direct the hot air towards the fan? What exactly is the fan cooling then?

Yes, I'm sure some NEET shitposter who probably doesn't even have a BSc level education in engineering can come up with a better design in that form factor than the whole team at Apple.
Sure, but every one manages atleast to connect a heatpipe or two or six from the CPU to a heatsink in front of the exhaust fan. Apple's not even using air guides to ensure air flows past the heatsink first. This is fucking atrocious. Even for modern Apple this is fucking terrible. My 2008 MacBook is just so much better engineered than this trash. I knew Apple had lost it a long time ago, but this is just something else.
I'm flabbergasted at how incompetent this is.

Holy shit, someone made a thread over a thing I noticed and posted about in another thread. Feels ... weird.
How about no fan at all while making the heatsink out of chopper, so it transfers the heat to the case? Or doing the same fucking thing they did with Pro.
It's not as much a lolApplel and more of a lolAir issue, since the rest of their lineup doesn't have something this stupid going on.
