I was just in touch with a friend by email and he told me he just bought a new Sony Vaio RC 210 series. He told me it was extremely quiet. He also owns a laptop and a Mac Mini and said the Vaio was quieter than even the mini. The only time he can hear anything, he says, is when the hard drives kick in under heavy load. I understand it has some kind of liquid cooling going on, but I didn't press him for further details about it.
I think he said it runs on a Pentium.
Does anyone know anything or have any experience with the Sony Vaio?

Sony actually says its heat-pipes, " A unique liquid-flow heat pipe draws heat...." link So they aren´t lying, they just make a common technology seem more high-tech and expensive and unique by describing it with fancy wordsSpHeRe31459 wrote:AFIAK, "liquid cooling" is marketing BS for the Sony using lots of heatpipes which has liquid inside used as a heat transport mechanisim.
