"permanently audible fan" is solved by turning it off from the BIOS. All HP laptops come with it enabled.

Total piece of crap don't waste your money. The hybrid graphics suck donkey. Good luck getting the 7650m GPU to actually work. Called HP and of course their tech support is no help. Their suggestion...reinstall windows. I have a 1.5 year old toshiba with a GT550m that runs circles around this thing. Avoid this laptop. You have been warned.

Does turning "fan always on" off really solve the problem ? Does the fan totally stop in idle mode ?

Is it possible to dedicate more ram memory to this intel hd 4000? it show's me that it is only 64 mb and i dont have option in bios to change it.. Is there any way to change it on 128 or more???

Great Display, nice keyboard , graphic drivers works great on windows, on linux there is a little problem with radeon driver but AMD works on it so with 3.10 kernel it would be great.
Goes very Hot, i don't like it.   :(

Great laptop for upgrades. It takes any Ivy Bridge CPU, can easily replace HD to SSD, same for WiFi cards (no whitelist) and LVDS cable from 4740S (50.4RY03.001) allows screen upgrade to 1080P
About "fan noise". It is reduced "in idle" to 2600rpm comparing to 4530S(3200rpm). Widely available programs can push it even further to 1900rpm.

install drivers it will be cool as ice! first install softpaq from hp and then softpaq will find other drivers and then your problem will be solved!
send me mail if solved.
