ya know, the letter on my 1 month old keyboard is starting to vanish..... i think they dont makes keyboard on the vaio laptop like they used to be...
the new keyboard look and sound like cheap materials, i still think my old vaio pcg-x18 keyboard is the best... doesnt make much noise when i type it and its look solid to compare to a317s. which kinda cheap.. what do you think?

I agree - the keyboards on the first gen VAIOs were quality keyboards, now they seem to fade away quickly.

Mmmh, have you checked the temperature?

The HDD......maybe I can't hear my HDD because the fan is to laud.

If you have a HDD from Hitachi, then you can download the Feature tool from the Hitachi site. With this tool you can configure the energy settings of the HDD. Normally the HDD in a laptop switch off, if it unused. You can't deactivate this feature, for example.

That is OK for a Centrino CPU. Switch the fan on, if the CPU usage at 100%? The best is if you ripp any CD or DVD. You must stress the CPU, then you can see wheter the fan works fine.

Water cooling laptops don't exist, and why? Because they'd be far too heavy!

Nice to have a quiet laptop for word processing and internet though

What is with Peltier modules? I think that would be much better in a laptop as the inefficent air-cooler.

oh right! i finally hear it... only if it really really quiet in the room.. and its like on and off for 2-4 second.. it doesnt sound like fan running.. more like wind blowing.... kinda like sitting in a very expensive car where you cant really hear the wind sound when the car is moving... :smileygrin:
