New Ubuntu-based Precision line-up
My boss seems unusually sensitive to high-frequency noise, and said if I got a Dell laptop for work he'd refuse to sit next to me (which would be a bad thing because I like him!)<p>I'd not heard of the "coil whine" or "CPU whine" thing before but Google seemed to show a lot of anecdotal evidence and discussion, especially for the XPS 13 but also for other models.<p>Does anyone know why Dell seems so prone to this, and if the problem has been solved in newer models?<p>Otherwise if I want to ditch the work Macbook for a Linux system (which I'd love to do ... I have not grown to enjoy OSX) then my only real choice would be Lenovo.
