[QUOTE="TheInvsbleMan, post: 450243, member: 32183"] The only time the fan gets noisy with me is when I am doing processor intensive work or I turn it up myself for gaming or something of the sort. I suggest downloading SMC Fan Control and adjusting the speed yourself although careful not to make it overheat. But the fans running at full speed constantly is not good at all, it shouldn't happen. As for the battery life I get about 4 hours off of a full charge... 1 hour is definitely not right. Some other more experienced users on here may have a better answer for you but I am fairly new myself. I suggest you take it to the Apple store and have them look at it. [/QUOTE]
