No, really... for ten years I've been driven batty by the fact that I could have a fast computer or a quiet computer, but not both in one. In periods I used two computers because of this (a mess for file management).
Then for a while I solved it partially by putting the box in a closet with sound proofing on the inside. But it really only solved it halfway. The G5, for all its fancy multi-step cooling management, still sounded like a dang hoover when it had worked for a little while.
But now Apple has made me a happy camper by somehow building the Mac Pro so the fans apparently hardly ever have to run. I have not heard them go on yet.
It is such a huge pleasure to sit working on one of the fastest personal computers in the world, yet only hearing a little ticking from the hard drive, and the wind in the willows outside.
I've had my MacBook for about two months now. It was my first foray into the world of Mac, and I have to say I couldn't be happier. I use it for my writing and wanted something small, light, and without all the "fuss" required of Windows. This has to be the best laptop I ever had, and yeah I'm sure there are fans in it, but I almost always never know they are even on. I looked at the Pro and decided while it would be fun it was more than what I needed. Glad it's treating you well.
ReplyDeleteWindows is all "fuss"? What a relief! I thought it was just ME being thick.
