Hello,
I am looking to get a 12" laptop. One major concern is heat and noise. I recently was using a friend's Toshiba 14" laptop and the fan would come on every 1 minute for a few seconds. It was really annoying. I looked at Sony's S series but read in all reviews that it run very hot and that it is too noisy.
Ideally I would like it to have a high performance CPU. I do not want a ULV CPU like the Thinkpad X series. I understand that the fan has to come on when I run CPU intensive apps, but I do not want it on when browsing the web or checking e-mail.
I was looking into the MSI S270 with the MT40 CPU and the Asus W5A. I was wondering if any of view has any of the above laptops and could comment on the heat/noise issues. Also if you have any other laptop recommendations they would be welcomed! I do not want apple powerbooks and my budget is around $1700.
Thanks!
