Default macbook pro and noise in the studio

Hi there,

I'm currently a Windows PT user but am planning on going mobile by buying a 003 and a macbook pro.

I'm just wondering what people's experience of the noise their macbook pros make is and whether they get issues of fan noise bleeding into their recordings (I record and mix in one mid sized bedroom) or fan noise affecting their mixing.

The PC I have currently is very quiet (I spent time and money getting it nice and quiet) and I don't want to make a backward step in that regard.

Are you able to throttle the fan with software so when doing those important takes who know it won't suddenly decide to whir into life and ruin a good take?

Macbook pro users' thoughts would be much appreciated, cheers.

Simon
