As laptops become thinner and lighter, the fans are becoming smaller and smaller. But there are still users who say that the sound of the fan is too sharp, and there are even users who claim that they can hear the "current sound" of electronic components.
Now, Lenovo is testing an innovative feature, "Ultra Quiet Mode", which will solve this problem for users who are particularly sensitive to electronic noise.
This feature was originally discovered by a Weibo user and it can be enabled in the BIOS. After it is turned on, the CPU will be dynamically adjusted to put the PC in Ultra Quiet Mode.
The move is the latest effort by the PC giant to court more users as global PC shipments rose 2.7% year-over-year in 2019 to 266.7 million units, the first annual gain since 2011, according to data released by IDC earlier this month.
"This past year was a wild one in the PC world, which resulted in impressive market growth that ultimately ended seven consecutive years of market contraction," said Ryan Reith, program vice president with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers.
Lenovo led with 24.3% market share at 64.8 million PCs for the year, HP had 23.6% share with 62.9 million, Dell had 17.5% at 46.5 million units, Apple had 6.6% share with 17.9 million, and Acer Group had 6.4% share with 17 million.
