I'm looking for a backup laptop to my iMac for occasional travel to do Photoshop and I hate the direction of the new MacBook Pros. The only negative thing, Ive heard so far is that it can be very noisy. Has anyone actually heard this laptop, yet? null

It is not noisy when the fans are on. I'm not a gamer, though.

I've had it for 2 weeks. It makes almost no noise at all.

Mine does not make any noise at all. I love it. Not sure what could be making noise since the hard drive is SSD.

If you turn up the volume, it makes noise:)

Upgraded from a windows 7 pavilion laptop. Wow.
BestBuy moved all the files from the old PC.
Some adjustments from Win7 to Win10.
This is a very fast high powered machine. The only noise must be the fan which can come on when it's really busy. It's a lot quieter and comes on less frequently than my old laptop.

gets noisy when fan kicks in and everything starts to cool down

ajaeger · Answer

I've been using it for about 2 weeks. The fans occasionally kick in but for the most part I rarely ever hear them.

I've had my spectre for 3 weeks and it hasn't been noisy at all. It did break down after only 19 days. So maybe that's why it wasn't noisy because it was defective.
