Hi guys,
I have been musing for a couple of weeks now about getting a laptop from here, either the Optimus IV or V, but one thing that concerns me is general fan noise. I'll be using the laptop mainly for work using applications like Unity3D and would favour a quiet experience over something distracting. SO my question is, what are peoples' general fan noise experiences with these two models when doing things other than playing graphically intensive games, for example launching programs like Unity or Photoshop? I know the Optimus V has a specific fan related issue but I am talking about aside from this. Let's say I take the laptop to a Caffe Nero or Costa or an independent cafe for a 2-3 hour work session. Is the fan going to get in the way of my sense of zen?
I am starting to think that rather than go for a powerful gaming laptop that enables me to work and play, I should maybe go towards a quieter Ultrabook and forget about gaming.
