    Here's a heads up to anyone who has recently received an E1505:

    If you are like me and are annoyed by fans that are constantly turning on and off, you might want to avoid BIOS version A09. I had a laptop with A08 and it was dead silent nearly all of the time, but then I got this new laptop with A09 pre-installed and it was so irritating. I reverted to A08 and it's quiet again. The CPU/GPU temperatures are actually lower, as well.
