New Kaby Lake XPS 13: coil whine
Hi everybody,
After I was so happy to have found a Linux supported laptop with very good specifications, I had to return the brand new 9350 QHD+ because of the coil whine noise. It was a real pity because I was in love with the rest, but it was simply too loud.
Now I am thinking again what to buy.
Is the design of the new XPS 13 Kaby Lake (9360) solving the coil whine problem?
If yes, I would prefer to wait and support Dell buying the DE.
I know this is not a hardware forum, but I hope that someone from Dell can give me an asnwer here. Thank you very much in advance!

I would like to mention that in my experience, this issue does have a potential to worsen over time. As I have encountered it across a 7470 and 7480 now.
"working within specification," maybe, consider 2 years from now, my unit was unusable within that time frame, and now i feel I've been handed a replacement with 2 years of usability left in it, out of box.
Looking forward to see if real responses to this problem arise.
Its 2019 and their still handing out laptops with a known issue from 2017....
I do appreciate the work that you have done on this issue.

You should contact Dell to change a new Power Brick.

Got no coil wine on the 2020 9300 model of the XPS 2020
No noise when running on battery, nor with the power supply
Totally silent
