1.33 GHz fan observation. WAS: [Ti] New 1.5ghz Powerbook up and running

[Ted Johansson]

Bought the new 12" (1.33 GHz, 768 MB RAM, 80 GB HD).

Different observation on the fan: although it is quite quiet, when 
normally operated with email, browsing, excel or word, it soon reaches 
45 C (113 F) (as measured by the program Temperature Monitor). Soon 
after, the fan kicks on, the temperature lowers a few degrees, and a 
after a few minutes the fan stops. This is repeated in maybe 10 minute 
intervals. The fan is much quieter than on my old iBook G3/800, but it 
would nice to have it not running.

This is when operated with external keyboard and screen, external 
power, lid closed and (does not seem to matter much) internal screen 
off, and processor speed set to automatic.
