    Just got back from the computer store, rather frustrated as I wanted to test drive the fairly new Acer Travelmate 3222 WXMI, with 14" WXGA screen, PM 740 processor, ATI Mobility Radeon X700 and so on, which is currently for sale in Europe, even in the far north of Sweden, where I live. I got a glimse of the chassi and screen, but I wasn't allowed to really listen to the fan noise of the machine, as the store didnt have any demo machines. As heat and noise is an EXTREMELY important parameter to me, I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who owns one of these or has had the opportunity to notice any fan noise or similar? Please help!

    I wont be surprised if there was heat and noise, as sticking such a powerful GPU in suck a small frame will heat up that quite fast, so the fans have to kick in.
