    I am considering purchasing the fe690, but I have a few questions.

    1) Noise Level: Does the fan or hard drive make a lot of noise?

    2) In this FE590 review, it mentions that the boot up time is a joke. Is it that slow for the fe690 model as well?

    3) Would the screen glare be intolerable near windows with lots of light pouring in?

    Thanks for any help.

    1) Not at all, I dont even hear it while gaming
    2) Well I can only compare it with my P4 3.2Ghz/2gbRam Desktop, and I dont see much difference if any, maybe 30-45 secs?
    3) No, its tolerable, but i know some laptops you cant even see it
