    I got my Vaio in early January.

    I recently noticed that the fan is cycling a lot. It will be idle for maybe 30 seconds, then come on for about 15 seconds. It does this as long as I have the computer on.

    It's on a desk, in a room that is not hot or cold (maybe 70 degrees or so).

    Is this normal, or should I be concerned? I'm not sure if it's always done this, or if I just noticed it.
