    "Nice machine, but the fan noise bugs me."

    by bobburton53 on September 23, 2008

    Pros: Great display, OSX a big improvement over Windows XP, requires very little fiddling to keep it happy, apps run fast, kids really like it.

    Cons: Purchased in June, now near the end of September, and the fan noise has gotten much more noticeable. Used to be almost silent.

    Summary: If you're sensitive to low frequency hums and whirring noises, this may not be the machine for you. (I have tinnitus.) Putting all the works on the desktop behind the display means all the noise sources are much closer to your ears. If you always have iTunes going (like my kids), this probably won't be an issue for you. The local "genius" says they'll replace the fans for about $140, but they won't replace them under warranty unless they fail.
