PC Specialist Inferno 11.6 inch Laptop review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell November 22, 2012 Featured Tech News, Laptop / Mobile

We measure from a distance of around 1 meter from the chassis and 4 foot from the ground with our Extech digital sound level meter to mirror a real world situation.

KitGuru noise guide
10dBA – Normal Breathing/Rustling Leaves
20-25dBA – Whisper
30dBA – High Quality Computer fan
40dBA – A Bubbling Brook, or a Refrigerator
50dBA – Normal Conversation
60dBA – Laughter
70dBA – Vacuum Cleaner or Hairdryer
80dBA – City Traffic or a Garbage Disposal
90dBA – Motorcycle or Lawnmower
100dBA – MP3 player at maximum output
110dBA – Orchestra
120dBA – Front row rock concert/Jet Engine
130dBA – Threshold of Pain
140dBA – Military Jet take off/Gunshot (close range)
160dBA – Instant Perforation of eardrum

When idle, the PC Specialist Inferno is quiet, but when loaded, the noise levels quickly rise. For modest duties it isn't too bad, but for intensive, prolonged 100% CPU duties the volume level is easily heard, even from a modest distance.

    Well this is rather daring from PC Specialist. never heard of them before, but thats a heck of a move. I know a lot of people who would love this, even with a bit of extra heat.

    Only issue I could see would be a long term fan dust clogging issue, and this machine would overheat very soon. I suppose many laptops are like that however so nothing that big a deal.

    Thats a great little system, id probably opt for a slightly lesser CPU though to keep down temps.

    @Mannacua, while they don’t personally ship outside the UK I have heard of people getting the confirmation from PCS that it is ready (and arranging for them to hold onto it) and then sending in their own couriers to pick it up and ship it out as self pickup is an option!

    So far heard great things about this and having owned a Viper III from PCS am sorely considering getting this as a travelling companion!

    Any way to adjust the fan speed on this? I have the same one and my fans dont show up on any software.
