Advise on T9900 in VAIO Z

Hi

I'm about to order this model : VGNZ 45X which is a EU model. It has a T9900 and is not too expensive for a EU model.
I wanted to buy a model with a P9700 because of the lower TDP (28) , but I cannot configure it as Vaio By You is not working in the Netherlands.

So, I need some advise from VAIO Z owners with a T9900 in their Z's;
- how's the fan noise?
- is it getting hot?

Big Thanks!

With most likely Z5's coming in October i would wait before i bought a Z.

Edited to add:
I had a look at your link and that is a good deal and i can see why it is tempting to buy now. Prices are really pretty decent in the Netherlands. Things are much more affordable than in the UK.

 

Yeah, I think it's a great deal. Same config in Germany for 3500 EUR.

 

some thoughts which i wanted to share.

'Tested' the Z a few times at a sony style shop and felt the z isn't solid, in particular the screen which at times looks warped. The cylindrical tube also felt cheap (and sounded hollow). The 16:9 ratio 13.1 inchd screen also looked tiny (compared to SZ18 which i am using now, a 13.3 inch).That ratio may be good for watching films but may be a little on the 'short' side for viewing documents. Compared to Thinkpad T400s and X301, the z failed miserably in terms of build. No doubt the Z is much higher specced the the x301/t400s.
Personally, i decided either i wait for the successor to Z or go for a thinkpad x301.

 

THanks everyone, I found some very interesting stuff here:

I hope the 45X ships with the larger 35W fan assembly.
