RE: I can't hear the fan on my MacBook! Read this from Apple

"Again, your sensitivity to anything said about Apple indicates to me either bias or vested interest."

And likewise your propensity to find fault in anything Apple shows your bias.

Perhaps the flatter fans in the new laptops required a new innovative approach and Apple has the engineering talent and R&D budget to develop their own fans rather than buy the cheapest off-the-shelf fans from the lowest bidder.

Changing the fan design doesn't mean they had a noise problem in earlier MacBook Pros. The flatter form factor in the newer laptops may have required a fan redesign.

I have an older 15" MacBook Pro and I rarely ever hear the fan unless the cpu is under heavy load playing videos or other media rich content.
