I don't know.

The production laptop isn't expected to be available until late 
November/early December, so nobody really knows how well the cooling 
solution will work in practice.

... but if I had to guess ...

It uses a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, in a fairly confined space, so 
not much natural airflow. The general consensus of opinion is that a CM5 
does need a fan unless its workload is trivial. I expect the laptop's 
fan won't come on until the temperature passes some threshhold (I have 
an Argon One case for a Pi4, and that has a fan that works in this way) 
but I would expect it to be necessary when the machine is under load.
