Mine is a 610m with a 1.6 GHz Pentium M CPU with 1 GB of RAM. I use it on a cocktail table right next to my listening chair, essentially as a remote to control SlimServer. SlimServer is installed on a server with high disk capacity in another room, so I control it via the web interface and wireless. If I put my ear about six inches from the unit, I can hear just a touch of high-pitched whine from the hard drive. That's it.The trick is, Pentium M = low power = quiet. It's not the brand of laptop that counts. It's the CPU.
Of course I'd expect a 3.2 GHz machine that's not a Pentium M, or some high-power dual-core machine to be noisy. But that wasn't the one I was posting about. See the title of my original post.
For desktops, I'm an AMD guy all the way, but I'd never even consider anything but a Pentium M for a laptop. That may change in a few years, but as of now the Pentium M rules the quiet laptop roost.
