[ltp] Fan always on problem... does it happen on R52 with the Intel Media Gr

[Jaime Iniesta]

Thanks Honey. I'm on a low budget, so the T series are not available
for me. If there are people complaining about the loudness of the R
series' fans, then I will not buy the R52, I'm quite obsessed when it
comes to computer noise.

Regards,
Jaime
