So I've read about all of the whining issues some people have had. I recently got my m1330 about a week ago and I've always noticed it had this slight whining noise. It's not as bad for me as I have read it is for others
You can hardly hear it at all in anything besides a quiet room.
I can hear it when it is sitting on a desk in a quiet room but if it is on my lap then I can't really hear it (even in a quiet room).

Admittedly, when I do hear it it annoys me. I was wondering if there was some sort of simple fix or if I should call up dell and have them fix it since it is still under warranty?

Such things shouldn't be a problem in the first place for a "premium" brand.

I am in the process of returning mine for this and some pretty serious keyboard flex on the right side. I just shipped it back to DELL today.
