Ah, that must be great... Actually, it is great. I'm using my dad's MacBook Pro right now (he came home yesterday). It's pretty fast indeed, though I'm not used with the soft keyboard.
Ah, I can picture what you mean. I once had a computer that had a noisy fan, it was really irritating to the ears. Glad that I got a new computer: an Acer AX1900. (Just sharing.) So, did that MacBook meet your expectations?
