    I just got a new 13" U305, I noticed when I'm using it that the fan will kick on and off constantly. It only kicks on for 1-3 seconds then turns off, it does this about ever minute, is this normal? It's sitting on a desk and doesn't matter if I just turned it on or if its been on for hours.

    Should be normal.
    Try running a game or something CPU intensive, it should keep the fan on longer and go on and off more.
