I myself have no longer used a MacBook Air, and therefore I am fan noise. That is why I was particularly critical. In fact, the fan 8 configuration starts with the win very early to run and then hums a bit. But everything is still in the frame. Still, I was hoping that this is not as stated in the reviews now running all the time. And I can tell you calm: He goes out again and then logs only rarely. My friend now working all day with the U330 (Word and Internet) and he was most of the time not to hear. Sometimes I did not know whether it is the fans or the HDD, buzzing just slightly. I can imagine though that in games and 100 applications at the same time the fan runs continuously, but in "normal" loads, there's a clear-clear.
Among the other impressions:
-Looks Great, especially like the continuous glass screen with black border me well (the MB Air still has the silver lining)
- The workmanship is good and overall wertig, even if you actually noticed gaps at second glance and screws do not fit exactly into the groove (and I do not even know the MB)
- The display actually reflects, however, the usually does not interfere with the right in front of seated user, but rather the angle for display sitter. From the brightness absolutely fine. (However, only tested internally). Even the touch responds accurately.
- Keyboard is great and has a good tactile feedback.
- The small but has pretty weight. (Relative)
- Win 8 is not my cup of tea, a lot of gimmick and waste with this, also even unusual, if you come from Win Vista or older.
Tip # 1: I have a "used-very good" purchased by a Marketplace Sellers laptop and correctly saved a lot of money. Although the hosts who arrived had a slightly vermackte packaging and was determined already unpacked (customer cancellation), but is not to distinguish themselves in my (critical) eyes of a new device. All films and stickers were still on it, the operating system was at the beginning.
In addition, full warranty.
So quietly toying with the idea sometimes a "used" from the Warehouse Deals or try from a dealer.
Tip2: The U 330 is wrapped in a "cloth" bag. So actually almost a disposable paper bag. Useless as a real protective sleeve in everyday life. I got the "Plemo Envelope PU Leather Case Sleeve Bag 33 to 33.8 cm (13 to 13.3 inches) laptop / notebook computer / MacBook / MacBook Pro / MacBook Air, Brown" ordered to do so. It looks classy and fits 100 percent.
