Question from LH: Asked on 09/05/2008 How does this laptop keep cool?
Does it have fans? If so how noisy are they.
I currently have a laptop with quite noisy fans but it is fairly old. I would not want to replace it with anything as noisy.

Question from Mark: Asked on 13/11/2007 Hi, could you tell me if this notebook is the exact same model as shown on the manufacturers website (sony.co.uk)? Just had to cancel an order with a leading retail chain as they tried to miss-sell me this model - the visual difference I found was there was no illuminated Vaio logo under the screen - instead it just had a Sony badge. Don't know what differences there are in the machine itself though. The product number on their site was an exact match with the manufactures but when the confirmation came through it was slightly different. Many thanks
