    Hi, I'd like to know if it is noisy or noticably hot on the lap when browsing and running a few non intensive applications. Thanks.

    Heat and Noise:

    "The ThinkPad Edge 15 maintained fairly good thermal performance throughout the duration of our review, including the time during benchmarks, with low keyboard and palmrest temperatures. Lap temperatures under heavy use increased to a level warm enough to be noticed, but still stayed below 100F. Fan noise was low under normal use. The fan was near-silent or off when the processor had no load and just above a whisper level under a continuous load. At full speed, we measured noise between 39 and 40dB at 12 inches with a background noise level of 33dB."

    Sounds like it runs cool and quite under low loads.
