I've had my pismo for three years and I use it for hours every day, and the only times I have heard the fan kick on is when I have it sitting on my bed for a while, like maybe an hour or so. Also, some times that thing gets so hot it's uncomfortable to keep it on my lap. I think that's normal though.
