I've read similar threads on other forums and there's always disagreement that the PB:
1. Can get too warm to put on your lap
2. Fans are rather loud at times
Some people who've had several revisions of the PB's swear that they're quieter and the heat is tolerable while others say the new ones run louder and hotter. I'm still waiting for my 15" so the only thing I can compare with is my previous hp nx9010. The fans on that machine started almost immediately after I switched it on and it could be rather uncomfortable to use in hot weather. You could hear the fans from another room whether it was in a relatively quiet or rather noisy environment. So, for those of you who're PB users/owners, can you give me an idea of what I should expect?
