I purchased a HP dv9205 from staples this afternoon, It's a gorgeous laptop with a fantastic build, way better than my dell or ibm and much better than any acer I've seen.
I was originally having a tough time deciding between this one and a Toshiba A100, I eventually opted for the HP as its several hundred dollars less and I didn't care much about the videocard and thought one gig of ram would be fine.
So far the system specs themselves seem to align with what I need from a laptop, still got a few programs I need to install but seems okay.
My problem, as trivial as it seems is that the fan is quite loud....and the problem isn't even that its loud but that is suddenly seems to click off and on every couple of minutes.
It's tough to explain how loud it is, I don't think it's "broken" but it definetly drowns out my other laptops in the room, and it does startle me a little bit everytime it starts. I am going to see if I still notice it in a day or two (Im probably looking for something wrong) but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could check temperature or if this could really be adjusted in anyway?
I love this laptop otherwise though, 17inch lcd, steel type finish, remote control, good speakers, fantastic.
but think I'll return it as the fan is driving me bonkers.
Alternatively, does anyone else own this laptop? Is it just me being anal or is this thing a bit annoying?
