“Is the loud fan noise consistently a problem for this computer? I cannot stand the loud fan noise. I am wondering if I exchange it for the same model if I will continue to have the same problem or if I would be better off exchanging for a different model?”

Sincerely, the HP Pavilion is the worst laptop that I have ever seen in my professional career, I am a computer engineer and worked for the most well-known IT companies in the world (included Compaq/Hp) and never, I say never found any worst laptop quality than this one. Fan noise is heavy, laptop parts are pure plastic, keyboard keys move out after several months, touchpad mouse does not run nice as in other Dell or ASUS laptops... But specially FAN NOISE is amazing, I dissambled anc cleaned everything, (not any dust at all since the laptop was brand new), every few minutes a big noise like an airplane taking off, I installed all latest BIOS, drivers,... but the same.. I think Hp works hard to remove bad comments or links to any wrong review from the searchers in the web... No solution yet, unless you buy Dell...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To be honest, I've only heard it just a handful of times. However, I do not use this on my bed or laying on something besides a table top. The fan is a little bit louder than normal and I had seen it in reviews before I bought mine, but, in this model (so I saw in research anyway,) is a new way of adapting to surfaces to keep the system 'cooler' in adaptive type situations... i.e. - sitting on a table top vs. sitting on a bed or blanket or warm surface...(could cause more fan noise but to keep it cooler in it's environment in turn reducing risk of damage or slow down of the system etc.) Probably one of the known things in the laptop game for a while, but to be honest, I have not bought one since 2011, so I did some pretty heavy looking into and that was just one of the things that I saw people bringing up about this model and thought I would share my experience and what I had seen out there. In conclusion, like I said, just from my experience so far, I've heard it only a few times... and yes it does seem to be a tad bit louder than other computers that I have had, but the duration is usually short and doesn't really bother me too much personally. Hope this helps and I hope you find a solution and a good fit for you. Cheers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The one I bought was quiet for the first 2 weeks and then started making that noise. It's the fan bearings going out. Neither HP or Best Buy can repair it ion house. You have to send it in and wait 2-3 weeks to get it back. I would recommend getting something more reliable.
