Is the fan noise that much of the deal?

I hear some people and reviews mentioned about the noise.

What is your experience with this?

And is the single fan capable of cooling the MB ?

    I’ve got a 12th gen running linux and fan noise is pretty significant when I’m pushing the laptop, but it’s usually silent when I’m not pushing it.

    Compared to a Macbook Air M1/M2 the laptop is hot and noisy, but really I haven’t found it to be any worse than other non-Apple machines that I’ve used (Lenovo and Acer included).

    I expect the Ryzen machines that will be released later this year will be better at keeping the heat down, but that’s hard to at this point.
