[* black] Theoretically, the asymmetry spreads the noise produced over multiple frequencies, making it less noticeable.
[* icon_note] This fan has been mentioned in almost all press on the MacBook Pro with Retina display. For $2200 of machine, a frequency dispersed fan doesn't seem reasonable to be a strong selling point; this sounds like a testament to Apple's marketing department.
