Mine is not hot at all, and the fan has not even coome on yet. It is a totallly silent machine.

I have the new 15 superdrive and have not had any heat problems and have never noticed the fan.

are you REALLY sure about that fanless and just warm beahviour? PLEASE CONFIRM.
i have a (revB) ti550 768RAM. It gets very hot, and when you're charging batt, you can barely touch the upper-right side (where the ac adapter goes), whether on the bottom, side or near the kb. When watching a dvd, after 1 hour you feel uncomfortable handling it wearing shorts (the way i watch dvds, usually on bed)
Because of this much heat, fans come on very often. As soon as you are near constant 50% of cpu usage 1st velocity fan comes on. It doesn't with just browsing, email..but it does just kicking photoshop hard for 3-4 minutes. If you insist on heavy cpu load, the 2nd fan comes then, and that one sounds like an helicopter (really).
This 2nd fan comes on as well playing quake or watching a dvd (>in 20 minutes movie time comes fan1, in another 40 comes fan2. thanks god i use headphones)
This is my main reason to upgrade to the new aALUS, so please tell how silent they're.
thanks in advance
PS: anyone has dreamweaver mx or flash? my ti550 is slow to me (compared to same soft on cheap pIII pc). How fast/slow do you feel it? (like copying and pasting big tables with imges from one doc to another inside dweaver)
