I'm planning to get a Dell XPS 15 for my year abroad. Now the question arises for me if it is the right choice, because it is very important to me that the laptop in Word / Open Office is silent / almost silent (does Undervolten help?). Because otherwise the device irritates me very much.
Which version do you want to get?
Had the version with the i7 8750h, 1050ti, 512gb and 16gb ram
The operating noise comes to a high degree from the fan. That you should buy a laptop after the fan, - I do not think so. Whether just the Dell is so much quieter, I do not know. Maybe he just advertises more with it.
In general, current laptops are pretty quiet in office applications, so I do not think you will have any problems with that.
Perfect then I thank you for this quick and good answer! 👍

In practical office use, such as when surfing the Internet (Wi-Fi script), the Dell Power Saving Profile ("Optimized") does not allow the fans to be deactivated, the CPU temperature is between 40 and 50 ° C. In Quiet mode it stays the same.
That's not really true. Lately had some devices in the hand, where the fans were permanently on!
