- IanCal 10y agoI've just got the previous version and the coil whine is really annoying. I'm debating whether to keep it. I actually wouldn't mind as much if it's constant, but hearing a "brbrbrbrbrbr" whenever I scroll is very irritating. There's a lot of static on the headphone port too, which is disappointing.
- dreistdreist 10y agoSame here. As soon as they have that fixed I'll buy one.
- karussell 10y agoThis also highly influenced my decision to buy a Lenovo T460 which is silent (even no noise under load) and long lasting too and Linux runs well on it too and is a lot cheaper for the same hardware, but does not look that pretty ;)
- ninja_quack 10y agoI have one and the answer is no. I had no idea this was actually a thing before this morning :( It seems to only happen when there is graphics stress -- using "semaphores=1 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1" seems to help, and once I started playing videos with --hwdec it was quieter also.. As it only happens during video, and I usually have headphones or the speakers going at those times I'm not too bugged by it yet.. Doing a kernel compile or something noisy in a term doesn't seem to trigger it..
