Any chance that Dell would replace the last generation Sputnik laptops, which suffer from the coil whine, for the new generation, which is hopefully going to be better designed? It would be a nice gesture given that Dell failed to resolve the coil whine in more than a year despite all the promises.

I'd love this. The coil whine problem extremely annoying and should not be present on such an expensive laptop. On a cheap notebook this would be acceptable but it simply isn't good enough for supposedly premium hardware. I've not had my motherboard replaced because of the feedback from other users (which was that the new motherboards don't fix the issue).
