The keyboard is also wonderful. However, it's too NOISY. Worse than that, I find the high frequencies in its wail painful! Is anybody else being driven up the wall like me? I heard a rumor (or was it a dream?) that Apple may be thinking of putting a quieter fan in the SE's? Any truth to this? Please, Apple, do it (and make it retroactive)! Has anyone ripped out the old fan, and put in a quieter commercial version? Are there any drawbacks to this (aside from voiding the warranty)? Otherwise, I'm in the market for a set of earplugs!
