I've been looking for a quiet laptop for fairly non intensive (web-browsing/music playback), something like the dell x1 without any fan and using a quieter 4200rpm drive.

I've been looking for a quiet laptop for fairly non intensive (web-browsing/music playback), something like the dell x1 without any fan and using a quieter 4200rpm drive. However portability isn't a big factor and i'd prefer a wider screen and less scrunched up keyboard but to generalise it seems that in most cases larger screens/keyboards equate to desktop replacement type specs and thus greater noise; does anyone have any alternative suggestions to the X1 with a similar noise output but larger screen and keyboard?

Try the Samsung range, some of the Dell laptops are Samsung anyway. I have an x50 which is a 15.4 inch widescreen. Great laptop and you can turn off the fans when not doing anything too intensive.
