    I really love this small beast and I have these 2 questions in my mind before i take the plunge.

    1) How audible is the i7 variety when idle or during simple light tasks? Is the fan really noticeable? is the i5 quiter? I am really concerned about noise levels.

    2) How much does the long life battery protrudes? anyone has a pic?

    3) Everyone talks about sdd's degradation of perfomance over time. How seriously should I consider this? Is it a valid concern?

    Many thanks
