I like it if the laptop only starts the fan up when the device actually is working. Not constantly turning it on and off during like light web browsing.

My 2018 MBP 13” and the Surface Laptop I’ve tried did that well. An XPS 15 I’m currently using does not.

Web browsing isn't a light activity anymore. Web pages consume more memory and more CPU than my text editor

That’s why I specified “light web browsing”.

Has there been a time in history where web browsing was lighter than text editing, ever?

No, but there is now, "thanks" to Electron :P

More specifically, HN would use less RAM than VSC would to open a .txt file.

Eh, not bad. not good; we don't know what the new goalpost positions mean yet.
