Powerful laptops that are silent/close to it...do they exist?

Hi all,



I just bought a new HP laptop, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, i7 2.5 GHz (HP Omen).



I love love love love everything about it except for the fan noise. It is generally omnipresent. When I first boot up the computer, it will be off for a few minutes, which feels like such a breath of fresh air.



Soon enough, though, it will kick in at a low level and stay there, which is affecting my ability to track with integrity. Start adding audio tracks/plugins, and it kicks into "Tier 2", which really starts to get unpleasant. At full blast this thing is a cross between my grandma's vacuum cleaner and a 747 idling on the runway.



I realize that many of you may want to advise me to get a MBP, and while I am getting dangerously close to that point (despite the extra $$$ it will cost), I have been a PC lifer so far and would prefer to stay that way, if possible. And from what I understand, MBPs make fan noise as well! I realize that MBAs are quite silent...but they lack the power/resources I am looking for (at least 16GB RAM and at least a 512GB SSD).



This issue of fan noise is really sticking in my craw. Any words of consolation/wisdom?



Thanks!
