My first computer was a Commodore 64.  Most of you won't know what that is but I mention it to establish that I've been dealing with computers a loooonnng time.  I like this computer with one exception.  IT"S LOUD.  The fan has a particular whine to it that is simply annoying.  I usually work in quiet as I surf, read emails, or play board/card games.  It appears I am going to have to play some music do drown out the annoying fan noise.  Wish it could be silenced a little.  Other than that, nice computer.
