== Hardware == ==== Optimus / Graphics cards ==== Just submitted the DSDT information needed to make acpi_call work for the 15z ( hopefully ) to [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542|this bugreport]]. Hopefully this should enable us to shut down the nvidia card if you want and just use the Intel 3000 card. ==== Fan ==== About fan noise.. The 15z seems a lot louder fan-wise than for example my Latitude E6500. The latter has no audible fan noise, while I can clearly hear my 15z blow its fans. Anyone here used the 15z with Windows, and noticed that it was a lot quieter there? |
