Dear distinguished TH members.
I am looking for advice on buying a fanless laptop that would be suitable for some heavy duty programming. Specifically I run some scripts about once or twice a year that take about a week to run in a linear process. These are heacy-duty in both RAM (in excess of 16 occasionally) and CPU. It largely consists of large database jobs, so also writing/reading to disk. There are some queries that can take up to about 4 hours.
I previously had a small Dell XPS (?), a cheaper model with an i5 and 16GB RAM. This did the job, but the scripts made the small laaptop, which had a fan, quite hot, and I believe the scripts were responsible for breaking that compute. Now it just turns itself off after 10 minutes.
Now I have a larger ASUS TUF gaming laptop.
I am interested in getting a fanless laptop, for obvious reasons, such as the current fan interfering with my calls. However I am worried my scripts will again frazzle a fanless laptop.
Can someone offer some advice on this?
And I am unable move these scripts to a desktop as I work remotely.
The new laptop would need to be able to have 16GB+ RAM and at least a 2TB SSD, preferably a 4TB NVMe.
Thank you for your time,
- Thavi
There are two fanless laptops I am looking at:

I don't know if there are others that may be suitable.
