Hi all.

I'm currently thinking about getting an XPS 15 with:
i7-2630QM processor 2.00 GHz, 540M graphics, 6GB RAM, 750GB hard disk, and the 1080p screen.

I think this should be good for a bit of gaming and other entertainment, alongside the more work-related stuff.

What I was wondering was about the fan noise this setup might generate - does anyone have experience of this config, and would it be worth going down to a 2.6GHz i5 for the sake of 10W TDP less? (and thus hopefully a noise reduction). Also, any other comments in general? Thanks.


edit: Went ahead and bought it.
