Do many gaming laptops come with coil whine included?
I've tested a few and have heard it on quite a few different brands.
With the laptop I have recently purchased, It is noticeable at idle from the centre of the keyboard from a normal sitting position.
Edit to add: It is only noticeable when the AC adapter is connected. I can hear it if I put my ear about 1cm to the keyboard.
The laptop in question is an Asus GL502VS i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070.
Any cause for concern and just the nature of the beast or should I be looking at asking for a return?
