    I am about to buy a Pavilion DV6-6B83 but are affraid that the fan noise is to loud. Can someone confirorm or deny that?
    I don´t want the fan to be heard during websurfing, ok when playing demanding games but not for normal surfing.

    Will the computer be very hot in that mode?

    Anyone else who can tell me about their experience?

    For web surfing and using Intel GPU, the temperature should be between 37-45 C while the fan stays quiet. I get these temperatures using the laptop on a desk. If you plan to use it in bed, then these might change and the fan may be louder.
