Yup, I've seen that feature in the "Energy Management" of the Z480 as well
When I tried it, it seems to:
Fan spin very fast for a while. Then slow down to normal. Then spin very fast for a while, then slow down ...
Maybe the display set was squeaky clean, but I don't see any dust get blow out through the exhaust vent

I am very skeptical of this anyway Looking at my table fan and ceiling fan, I don't see spinning at max speed actually loosen any dust off the blades.

I was thinking, the dust filter (especially those with ioniser) that we normally find in aircon? Those are quite effective (even though a small amount of dust can still be found in the coil fin). I wonder why no laptop brands implement similar filter at the inlet vent?

I believe that would reduce the air intake.

mostly those filter reduce the air intake?
Some on the compaq/Asus/dell they put black plastic with small hole over the vent..

when the filter is clogged with dust, the cooling air will no longer distribute to the heat sink thus generates more heat.

EDIT : like what sifu lee_what2004 and kingkingyyk said, maybe will reduce the air intake.

Yup, I've seen those "black plastic with small hole" thing on laptop
They are not effective (did not see it trap much dust, compared to those we find in aircon), I think because it does not has "static".
Static will trap dust.
Airflow generate static on the aircon filter. When air stop flowing (power down aircon), static dissipate. (that's why I think the static will not harm the laptop )

Those filter in the aircon can be easily removed, washed, dried, and put back. Shouldn't be difficult to implement similar on the laptop shell :

I will glady sacrifice a bit on air intake if the air sucked in are cleansed
With CPU going the low voltage route may be the amount of air intake will become less of an issue.
Those ultrabook really is dust bunny and hard to clean (I was looking at the MBA of my cousin, which is ~ 1 year old. Have told her to keep cleaning the inlet vent ... but I think now really need to take it apart to clean inside )

most of the time i will take compressed air and spray around the vents to save time. but really, MBA fan disassembly is easier among other ultrabooks. just remove the back cover, battery and SSD, you can access to the fan.

Updated, thanks bro~
Weird thing those X202/S200 kept on changing names one

In the US, there's the X202E, Q200E and S200E

The fan spins at full speed in reverse for a few seconds, dislodging any dust buildup and then only spins in the correct direction.

You missed;

X201E - a Celeron based X202 with no touchscreen
Transformer Book TX300CA

Updated, thanks man

Yeah, something like MSI Lightning cards. Doubt it works.

Ok, found something buggy.
Once you altered the 3D (AA, AF, blah) settings in NVIDIA Control Panel, Optimus will become bugged.
NVIDIA GPU no longer can be accessed until next restart.

TJ, I think this is RSP at RM849 according to Asus catalog.
Btw, is this the 1st Intel Atom CPU running Android in Malaysia?

Anyone had the z400touch i7 at local shop already? Is it released?
Anyone know about the con? Does it suffer from heat or less battery life problem?

Updated, thanks bro
