I bought the HP Omen Transcend 14 (43708898) Ultra 9 model and unfortunately the fan is very audible even when on idle, if the dedicated GPU is used, the laptop is like a jet. It is very unfortunate because the laptop is really good.

I originally wanted to get this Zenbook but I thought CHF100 extra and get an RTX 4070 is worth a no brainer.

My question is, how is the fan? Is it audible when on idle or using normal surfing, Office work etc? I will return this HP and get the 10% hit and grab this Zenbook if the fan is quiet..

Accepted Answer

The Zenbook also has a fan. Normally barely audible. However, it can be heard under heavy CPU load (e.g. image processing), but quietly.

Answer

Hi Nizar, the fan is not audible. Probably the graphics card on the HP. Greetings Andi.
