For desktop fanless, one can purchase a Broadwell Intel NUC and place it in an aftermarket Akasa case. These are laptop-class processors in a small desktop form factor. For more performance, there is the CompuLab AirTop which I run exclusively with -stable, which is passively cooled with a true desktop-class Haswell processor. Everything works, and the machine is cool to the touch. For fanless laptops, I have ordered a used HP Stream laptop for travel which is completely fanless. I have not received it yet to try with OpenBSD, but am working under the assumption that I would need a Wifi dongle at the very least. The most powerful in the fanless laptop category is probably the ASUS Zenbook UX305 or the new MacBook. - joekiser
