I've gotten too used to the silent Mac Laptops. Struggling to find an equally silent laptop I can use for Linux (and buy in NZ). Why does Apple have to make awesome hardware and also be a horrible company. Distros that work on Mac hardware are too experimental right now, don't recommend them. I know all about them. You're wasting the limited amount of typing you have in this life.
@grumpygamer How about Dell XPS 13?
If the CPU strategy in the BIOS is set to to silent, it does not make any noise at all.
The only problem I found in the one I use is that the keyboard is not very good, but this can be fixed in new units.
