Personally I don't care what it sounds like, so long as it can work under load, and my Macbook Pro can't. It throttles when ambient temperature is over 25 degrees C, and
I haven't unplugged my Macbook Pro more than a couple times in the last 2 years.
In short, I'd take a two inch thick Clevo that sounds like a 747 and only lasts for 2 hours if it meant not having to worry about turning my HVAC on when I want to do a screenshare.
