Surface Pro 2 Fanless?

[Skelnik]

I've seen from a guts shot of what I believe to be the Surface Pro 2 that there might be fans in it still. Can anyone confirm that it still uses fans, or if it has gone fanless?

My desire, of course, is for it to be fanless like the RT version, as that opens up a whole industrial computing market as well as extending the device's life overall.

As per the AMA at reddit, yes, there will be fans in the SP 2.

but whether they'll be used as often remains the question
