Is the fan turning on often? Is it very loud?

From my research on Macbook alternatives only the Zenbooks looked like almost-an-even-match to me. Curious what's your experience with day-to-day fan noise and heat.

I know someone with a modern Zenbook and it sounds like a jet engine at all times, battery life is awful too.

It hasn't been so bad for me to notice. Compiling rust you'll hear the fan, but you'll also hear it in a MBP.

The MBP will compile faster however.
