I remember having endless thermal issues with I7 Latitudes which cannot be good for longevity. Never used to spec anything more than an I5 as a result. Not so much of an issue with newer generations though.
So it’s not just my 5400, the fan gets extra noisy if it starts collecting dust on the fan blades but even if they are spotless if you do something cpu intensive it gets noisy.Aha yes, you’re reminding me of the (often) fan sounding like it’s about to take off
Does it sound just like a Boeing 757 with Rolls-Royce RB-211 turbofan engines starting its take-off roll & initial climb-out, perhaps?
That only works with Apple because their laptop range is tiny and unified, they are all very similar premium high end laptops only really differentiated by size and spec, whereas Dell is trying to stuff every laptop they make under similar narrow titles right from their absolute garbage entry level laptops right through to their Mack truck sized Precision range. A typically narrow minded and lacking foresight corporate bigwig decision, some head honcho had a brain fart and convinced all his lap dog minions it was a great idea. If they had also unified the laptop designs then it may have worked but that won't be the case because then they can't differentiate the prices points to the degree they do currently, Apple can afford a much more unified design because their range starts at R22k.
What sold me with Dell was their Onsite Pro Support, thats really what I am interested in. But they have slowly replaced it with AI Support and Indian Support and it has really gone backwards. I see Dell as buying a service and not a machine, but that I am afraid wont be for much longer. Their buggy drivers and firmware is not helping.

The battery will be dead within a year or two (I predict) as the 165W power supply still does not supply enough power under high demand which then draws from the battery as well.
Now how would I take that to a coffee shop.
You definitely need a MacbookNow how would I take that to a coffee shop.
