Any laptop can be affected by this, it is not related to Lenovo, or Dell, or any manufacturer. It is not even confined to laptops, or computers - for example, I have an old Panasonic plasma TV that has terrible coil whine when displaying bright screens... Maybe your odds are different with various series etc, but it is hard to tell. Maybe your specific unit is defective, and you can exchange it for another one (you can always just reinstall Windows these days, the license is stored in the BIOS).

I mean sure, but some laptops are more susceptible than others. Lenovo's are notorious for this. My M1 MacBook Air will probably not have coil whine since it doesn't even have any moving parts.

  Coil whine does not require any moving parts. I mean yeah, they're moving in the sense that they're vibrating, but it can happen even without fans or spindles.

    Yup! I am wrong, sorry.

Sort of. Supply chain shenanigans are causing lots of weird issues. Dell batteries for example are trash, much higher failure rates.
