My experience with this model (the 7730U processor variant) is completely different. It’s very noisy, with an intense and sharp whining, the noisiest laptop I have ever seen, awful in that regard. If you have moderate to intense computational activities it’s unusable because of the noise.

Hey,

Do you still use the version 7730U? Is it still loud when using?

I am looking to buy, interested in your overall opinion so far with the usage of laptop.
