I want to inquire about this laptop. I already know it is good, very good. What I am curious about is opinions, from people who OWN or have BEEN AROUND it.
I am going to be speccing it:
2.5ghz 6MB cache
8800M GTX 512mb card
4gb ram (2 without vista)
250gb 5400rpm hdd
My only concern is the noise level (of the fans). I have read up a on it and hear that they are rather loud, which poses a problem for me. This laptop will be used to game a fair bit, but as well as a school laptop for university, so I need to be able to bring it to classes and not cause a disruption.
Obviously when in class it will be in power saver mode, with the lowest settings, so my question is this: Is the fan really that loud, that it will distract people who are sitting beside or near me?
If you have any other comments about the laptop as well that would be appreciated. I currently have a dv9317ca from HP, but I have had to ship it in 4 times in the past year so am replacing it for this upcoming year of school.
I had also considered the Alienware Area-51 m15x, because it can be very quiet and has a long battery life. Any opinions on that laptop as well? I am not real keen on buying an AW because their support is terrible I hear.
