That's OK for a desktop PC (including laptops that stay plugged on a desk) but for mobile use performance/battery life is a concern. Another less obvious reason for not having the laptop's fan constantly on due to high CPU usage is to avoid clogging the heat sink with dust/fibers (eg. when you have your laptop lay on a blanket when you're in bed). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
