Hi there,
Im currently thinking about returning my new Sony sz2 for a 3000 v100.
Could someone who has used the thin please report on the fan-noise?
On high-load, idle, etc..
I know, very subjective, but , compared to 'average'...
Also, is it a high-pitched noise? (as on the sony-- yuukkk ) or more just a soft gentle swooooshing of air (as it should be).

Thanks

I don't own the computer, but this is straight from abaxter's review:
Heat and Noise

The V100 is a very quiet system that stays nice and cool. Even when running benchmark applications on this notebook things didn't really warm up and the fan was either inaudible or didn't need to kick in. High marks go to the designers for making a notebook that has a good cooling system. Ever since using an Apple MacBook that runs at 140 F in normal usage, which is apparently considered normal to longtime Apple notebook users, I'm more appreciative of notebooks that don't cook your lap when used.

I have owned one for several months. The fan noise is awful. I wonder if it would be worth it to replace the original fan. Anyone try this?
