    How loud is the fan? I heard it's like a jet engine but is it as loud or louder than the m14x fan?

    Please watch video @ around 7:16 and tell me if that is louder than the sony vaio or if sony vaio is louder

    No, the fan is not that loud at all, but is pretty loud when handling something very graphic intensive. When doing small day-to-day tasks, such as emails, web browsing, social websites, the fan is inaudible and the laptop runs pretty cool, around 40c-60c.
    I have an SA290X and it kinda bothered me with how loud the fan is when I'm playing games, Heroes of Newerth, but I guess it is understandable with how thin the laptop is. Has to compensate somewhere.
