   Just because it has a fan, doesn't mean it will be on all the time. I    
   have an rPI5 with an Active Cooler. The fan only comes on during hot    
   days (maybe ambient > 22C) and high CPU. Presumably the laptop compute    
   module CPU is similar.   
      
      
   However, it looks a bit pricey, I would get a second hand laptop, instead.
