Fan Noise

[Nigellus]

When I was staying at a friend's house this week, there was always a loud whine coming from the other room. I could even hear it upstairs at night.

No, it was not a ThinkPad fan. It was a Compaq.

(I've never thought of my 600E's fan as being very loud, so I was surprised to notice that it is a common complaint for TPs)

Yeah, my Dell laptop does produce lots of loud fan noise. Perhaps louder than that compaq.

Can hear it with my room door closed. And imagine me taking my Dell to the library to use with everybody\'s eyes fixing on me and my Dell.

That\'s why i switched to thinkpads. When you turned on the thinkpads, yes, the fan noise is audible and after a while when it reached the XP black boot screen, the thinkpad become dead silent (working thinkpad)!!!
