I really don't think this notebook is loud at all. In fact I think this is really quiet for a lappy with the x700.

Asus has to learn that it cant copy companies liek apple as they use totally different cpu''s and gpu's. Anyways there isnt a problem with the Asus fans as it needs to be constanly on due to a poor chasis and cooling methods. Also Asus chose the crpaiest fan possible to cool the notebook therefore making it noisy. But i like how you pointed out that it got good battery life and good screen. I love the notebook but the design could do better. I would ahve bought that notebook in a haert beat if they would have just changed the fan in the notebook to a much softer one found in the dell m70.

Out of curiosity, do you have any proof for these statements?
a.) "Asus has to learn that it cant copy companies liek apple": a substantial proportion of Apple powerbooks are made by Asus. Apple is not primarily a manufacturer, they are primarily an assembler and software designer

b.) "Asus chose the crpaiest fan possible to cool the notebook therefore making it noisy." : According to Justin from ProPortable, one of Asus' leading resellers, all the parts in the Z70va are of substantially high quality

Everyone has their priorities. I'm sure the Dell M70 has a very quiet fan, as that is your priority. Other people have different priorities, and the Z70va appeals to them for various alternative reasons.

IM not saying that the asus z70va is bad, in amtter a fact i think its supperior to the dell m70 besides the fan noise. Restating my previous post, the fan does suck as I have looked inside my freinds asus and it uses a bigger fan, which generates more noise than the small fan inside the dell m70. Also Asus deisgn resembles apple design in an matter of fact apples has a team of designers that focus only on desgning apples notebooks and computers. Apple may note make there notebooks but they design them and all of there computers. Until recently, apple has asked sony to get help to design the new pentium m notebooks and desktops.

Such as the powerbooks, powermacs, imacs.

Lets see, bigger fans != more noise. It is possible that the ASUS fan just spins faster, which makes it louder. In fact, larger fans are usually quieter, since they do not have to spin as fast to obtain the same airflow.

Yeah... but ASUS is still trying to be like apple and copying them in every way... so it doesn't matter.

apple designes all of their notebooks so asus just builds what apple designs. Asus us an amazing comapny but it has its flaws like fan speed.

The ONLY thing that I've seen "copied from apple" is the hinge design on the V6V/W2V/W1 series...
Other than that, Asus has been very innovative with their designs... if not more innovative than Apple has been (in the last few years at least).

Case and point: M5 series... W3 series.
