My wife has a cheapo gereric laptop with no branding. $200 cheaper.
Hers is also SSD but with much smaller HDD. Hers is always silent.

Admittedly I do use it a lot and it's on for several hours but usually it's only browsing the web with 5-10 tabs open and a few apps running in the background.


She does a lot of photoshop. I literally never even hear the fan on hers. Why?

Is mine broke?
