Apple Many people who have called Apple to complain about excessive heat coming from their newly purchased computers have been told that the MacBook and the MacBook Pro are in fact Notebook computers and not Laptop computers. This article details why they are totally full of it.

The G4 QS or MD had noise problems, but most computers from Dell sound worse.

Is the G5 case small?
Is the G5 case missing air vents?
Have you ever used a Mac?

It of course depends on what model you have and also what video card one has chosen. A Dell Dimension with a gaming video card is going to be far noisier system than the Optiplex line with a passively-cooled video option, especially the very quiet small-form factor chassis. (Not that Dell doesn't have their own hardware "issues", believe me, but that's an entirely different discussion for some other time perhaps.)
