    I just have to make this thread, as it seems my notebook makes no noise on battery power with only one fan working on low. If I’m surfing the internet, there is still only one fan working while the other fan turns on every now and then. While having my notebook opened and looking at the bottom directly at the fans, there is slight fan noise, but only because I have the back of the unit in the air watching the fan(s) rotates. I don’t mean there is noise while your face is away from the unit; I mean you hear the one fan when you put your ear close to the notebook almost directly on it. Sitting the notebook back on the table, will give no audible sound to be heard, none! The notebook has been on now for 40 minutes, I have not even heard the fan kick on medium or high for a second, which it does some of the time. Now here is where it gets good. If I close the lid on the notebook and turn it over, the fans are off. I don’t mean kind of rotating, I mean off. Even if I have the option for what to do with the lid closed set to “Do nothing”, the fan(s) still turn off (no rotating).

    This is all done on battery power, which I would think would be the case if in a Library???? Or class????

    Now my question to you, how does your notebook act on battery power?
