What is the "coil whine" problem with the 9360 model?

According to various forums, this still seems to be a problem, but we cannot say for sure.

Yes, the problem still exists. My experience so far has been that when the power supply is connected, the coil whine is noticeable. Without the power supply, you have to put your ear to the keyboard to hear anything. I assume that every device is affected by this. According to the internet, the problem seems to be related to the Intel HD Driver, I would have to uninstall it and try it out. (Of course, deleting the graphics driver would not be a solution).

It hasn't really bothered me so far, as the device is connected to a monitor at home when it's closed and I don't hear anything from the Coil-Whine. On the road, the device runs 99% of the time in battery mode.

But yes, it is definitely a point of criticism. If I didn't use the laptop at home with an external monitor, I would have returned the device.
