You'll have to stay away from classic laptops and consider the Microsoft Surface models.
To me the usual laptop fan is quiet but when folk say quiet I take it they want even quieter which pushes us into the Surface models.
Hi, with budget up to 1100$ I look for a very quiet 14" or 15,6" laptop with i7 (or i5) and SSD. Will be very thankful for all your tips.
