i just bought the VGN BX197XP and after initially being very happy straight away noticed that the fan is very very very noisy. to the point ur head hurts! i thought this laptop was suppose to be the best .... a business mans laptop but how can anyone take it seriously with the amount of noise it produces! .... its like a jet engine!
.... also the laptop gets very hot. within say 5 mins even if im not doing anything, no progs on etc.
Please can anyone tell me, is this normal ? do any other BX197 owners have similar probs?
i honestly can not take this laptop any much longer and if i cannot find a solution im gonna throw it in the bin!
sony wtf !
small unit ? the bleeding thing is huge! I can just about pick it up.
.... seriously tho, is this normal? noisy fan and very hot unit ?
i use to luv vaio. this is my fifth unit and it has everything i could want, but the noisy fan is just terriable!
but its noisy straight away and gets very hot within say 5 mins!? even when ive just got it switched on.
no im sorry u cant be serious. yeah its suppose to be high end with good specs, but what about the noise? how can anyone concentrate with that much noise? that cant be right. its a laptop so it is suppose to be mobile at some level.
i wasnt expecting the noise. i expecting 100% quality from sony. I mean did they test these machine on anyone before putting them on the market? "erm yeah, luv it sony.... great specs.... very high end....er the noise.... nah thats ok.... ill get use to it".
cathorian thank u for the reply btw. appreciate any help i can get. what laptop do u have and whats the fan noise like? like i said before, ive had other vaios and i always bought the high end vaios (the highest specs ones / big ones etc) and never have they made noise like this. its just soo annyoing. u just cant work. id understand if i was working on something which required lots of cpu but this is noise constant even when just idle.
