The M2 MacBook Air Runs Hot

For development purposes, I use a MacBook Pro with an M1 Max. I haven't heard the fans spin up since I bought it in November 2021. Nevertheless, it runs cool all the time.

On the flip side, I bought a MacBook Air with an M2 for my son, which runs hot. This is when running basic apps like codeSpark (an iPad app).

I know the MacBook Air has a fanless, passive-cooling design. It just strikes me as odd that it runs considerably hotter than a MacBook Pro.
