> Dell XPS I have one that chirps at me while scrolling on the screen on Linux. Dell XPS laptops are generally famous for horrendous quality control and coil whine. I don't know reviewers can ever not mention that. > We (this community) probably have the power to stop it. Probably yes in theory, gonna be hard in practice. Most consumers don't really care enough when they find out it whines when they already have it. Reviewers don't mention it, so there's no good way for you to know. I too have somewhat non-standard requirements for products I buy (haptics, how does it sound when you tap the back, how much does it flex, can you open it with one hand, how much does the software glitch ...) and pretty much the only way to inform others about them that I can think of is starting to do reviews. But try breaking into that field ...
