The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
1. The LCD doesn't go all the way back, but it goes farther that most would need it to.
2. they can be dimmed. mine are set to automatically dim when im on battery
3. As far as fan issues I haven't had any.
1. Pretty far. I haven't measured it, but it looks to be about 120 degrees or so.
2. Both.
3. Honestly, it's not much of an issue. The fan isn't that loud. If it bothers you that much you can just put the laptop to sleep and then wake it up again. Takes about five seconds.
1) It opens up *plenty* far. Its really nice. Not quite to where its "flat" but easily far enough to where you can adjust it to look down on if you were standing at the desk leaning over it.
2) The default program allows you to dim them, but the AlienFX Lite program that a member of this board developed is amazing. you can do that and more.
3) I don't have issues with my fan, its not loud. It will occasionally run on high for no real reason (system will be cool according to temps) which will probably be addressed, but I also think some people may have received some bad fans or could possibly be more sensitive to the background noise in general. I have two M11x and to be honest I'm pretty picky and it doesn't bother me or my wife.
