Hi all,

Am literally about to press 'Add to Basket' on a 13" MBA with upgraded CPU to the i7 and 8Gb RAM, but I've just read that the fans are a bit too keen to spin up and are noisy when they do.

Is this true? If so, I think I'll just get the i5...
 
Mine rarely spin up. My old 2009 ran its fans at high speed all the time but it takes quite a heavy load to get my 2012 (specced like yours) to spin up.
