T43 18714AG need some information

[wsdk99]

Hello,

I would like to buy the T43 18714AG ( Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900), but I need to know, if it is noisy.

Is there anyone, who can give detailed Information?
I need a notebook, which is nearly noiseless. I want to use it as an Office-Notebook and sometimes watch a DVD. No games.
It has to be long-living.

Is the T43 18714AG the right choice? I'm just frightened because I read, that all the other T43 notebooks, which work withe the ATI RADEON x300 are very noisy. Is that one noisy too? In Germany (where I'm from, so: sorry, for the cripple-english) the T43 Notebooks are only for a short time in the market, so people are not very experienced with strengths and weaknesses of these notebooks. But I heard, that people in the USA have complained a lot about the noise. Is that true and does it also concern the 18714AG?

Thanks for any information.

This Thread is just about the T43's which contain a Mobility RADEON x300, or am I wrong?

The T43 I would like to buy contains the new Intel Graphics Media Accelerator wich is supposed to emit less heat than the Mobility RADEON x300.

@wsdk999: Your post is some days old now. Have you bought the T43 18714AG yet. I am a German "Want 2 be Thinkpad owner" as well and wasn't satisfied with what our German peers (www.thinkpad-forum.de) had to say about the noise level of this model.
The opinions tend to be very different.
