How quiet are Dell computers?

[MrToad]

hi longcall,
Thanks for the reply, as that is what I've heard. Does your fan cycle on and off at all? It seems like thats when my brother's computer gets loud.
Also, you got an xps system (sweet!)... I was going to go with the more economical vostros system. Has anyone heard or experienced how quiet the vostros line is?

Not at all. The only time that I'm aware of a fan at all is when the machine starts.

I don't really know about fan noise for Vostro. My guess is that it won't be as quiet as a studio XPs because it's built more for an office environment. But I would think it is fairly quite because it is a quality machine. I have 2 vostro notebooks (for my business) and they seem to run quietly, for a notebook. I had a couple of Toshiba Satellites a while back that just rev ed like crazy and ran very hot.
