    I have 13 inch sony Z 820db laptop not very long ago, for some reason the fan makes quite a bit of noise compare to other models that i own(sony ns190d laptop). Is this suppose to be normal for this laptop? Does anyone else who has this laptop feels the fan noise for this laptop is sufficiently higher compare to other laptops? I can really feel the air pumping out when i place my hands near the ventilation and i only use the laptop for surfing on the net. no heavy application running what so ever. Also have a question about the battery life. They said the standard battery life could last up to 5.5 hours, but mines only last 3 and half hours even just surfing on net. any advice or suggestion is welcomed and thanks for the help in advance!

    Battery life is different for everyone, depending on how you use the notebook. But what are your temps? Download *this* and tell us the temperatures inside your notebook. That will help us figure out why your fan is so loud.
