[QUOTE="jonnyturner, post: 18085"] no creaking or anything, i think ive heard the fan spin up noticeably once, well at least i only ever heard it once for a minute or two, i think that was cos the ibook was sat on my bed being used for quite some time so obviously the base was insulated and the heat wasnt escaping as well as it should be. but only to be expected. on the whole its quiet as a mouse, im amazed to be honest just how quiet it is, even when running photoshop 8 etc etc. im really impressed with the build quality, it feels sturdy and well made. as for the speakers, they are comparable to an old G3 imac, very sharp and crystal clear but obviously no real bass response, which is to be expected from 2 tiny tweeters. clear and very crisp though, ive watched a few movies and not had a problem :) i know how you feel, i hate reading these scare stories after ive just shelled out £1000 on a brand new ibook, but to **** with it, ill guarantee that you could choose any pc/mac and if you research it enough you'll find a small number of people with the same specific problem that have all posted a thread on it. i think you'd have to be very unlucky to get a duff unit.
