Hmmm, what should I say?

Pentium4 desktop CPU + Laptop = heat

heat = too much fan noise.

Wait 2-3 years and you think like me. click me

Forget the price of a laptop. You save on the wrong place, if you buy an laptop without Centrino or Thurion CPU.

Welcome to the forum,
I thought Seb was so cool just touching his lappie would chill it dude. Go to your power management and select 'adaptive' for the CPU but I reccommend you leave the fan on 'performance' as it is better to have noise that a cooked CPU.:smileygrin:

I have a K115Z and I use Speedswitch to control CPU speed which keeps the temperature and fan under control.

Download it here - SpeedswitchXP

I keep mine set on adaptive unless I am converting video to DVD in which case I lock it on performance - saves lots of time.

I know of no disadvantages, only improvements - lower operating temperatures and hopefully longer processor life,and less noise.

I am pleased it has helped.

I don't think you get commission if they've already bought it but that's a trick I'm definitely going to try...

Too true... and it would be money well spent by Sony. Oh, maybe they should just give you a new machine annually.

Kingslee - The problem is the processor which can run at 3.06GHz when it needs to. Now really give this processor a real stack load of work- say 90 -100% of max, this thing is really flying then and so it generates heat. It also has a higher voltage than say a Pentium M, and so work + voltage = heat.

So to the second part of the problem ( which I think Seb mentions above). This processor was designed for a desktop where there is enough space to glue a whacking great heat sink and integral fan to the top of it. In a laptop there just isn't the room and so they make a plan to stop it melting, and that is to put a high air flow fan in to keep control of the heat produced.

I think it is a processor plus model/design problem, but I prefer to have a laptop which can really work when I need it to. My 1.6GHz desktop drives me crazy while it thinks....I call it daft bast***!!!

They should let me borrow VAIOs so I can help with specific problems

It is really a personal choice. I have heaps of lovely photos on mine and I just love the X-black screen, so for me a slight whir of the fan is worth the screen benefit...
