Past Lenovo P series have a bad problem with loud fan noise. Fan is on at full speed even when the laptop is idle or on light load. The only way to stop it is to disable the video card. It is so loud that it is hard to have a conversation, concentrate, or listen to audio. Question: has the P16S Gen 2 addressed this issue?

Yes, most of the time, the fan is even off now.
