    Fan Noise and 2017 MBP's

    Has anyone with a 2017 MBP (nTB 13") put in enough mileage to determine how loud/annoying the fan noise is? There's a lot of chatter on the interwebs on the subject, and I'm still torn between a nTB 13" and a 12" rMB mostly because of the fanless, quiet design despite performance/port...
