Are desktops noisy these days and do they produce a lot of heat?
February 232010
I’m trying to decide between a laptop and a desktop. Do desktops make a lot of buzzing noises when it’s on, or are the new designs have softer sounds like laptops? Also do you produce a lot of heat? Sometimes if you leave a desktop on too long it can get soo hot!!!
Most premade desktops can be loud, even "gaming ones" cause of the fan.
This can EASILY be fixed by buying a better QUIET fan.
They make fans that move MORE air than cheap fans and have less noise.
Leaving the comptuer on does not make heat, making the computer do work makes heat.
Always keep the computer in an area with space around it, I keep mine out in the MIDDLE of my bedroom… it looks awsome like that.
Laptops do not get too loud cause generally they got terrible GFX cards and have way lower speed CPUs so they run much cooler thus do not need as big of a fan.

As long as the fans are clean and adequate for the processor, overheating shouldn’t be a problem.
You should consider a PC with Windows 7 as it is more efficient than previous versions of Windows. You can read about all the new features here- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/
