Hi,

I have not used a laptop for any length of time since a 1.6ghz Pentium dual core, so I am not really up to date.

I have just purchased a Dell 5520 15R with a i5-3210M. The laptop fan is always running, its not loud but in a quiet room quite noticeable and I would be concerned using it close to others in a library. Even if the notebook is idling the fan is on.

Is this normal on modern powerful laptops? On the old Pentium Dual Core I use to use the fan was as good as silent and would ramp up maybe every 5 minutes for a few seconds.

Thanks
