    EDIT TOPIC!, not CPU whine but HD whine.

    Hey, I have the 1530 with the 160GB Free Fall Sensor Drive. It suffers from terrible Hard Drive whine, I can hear it all the time, maybe i'm too picky..

    Anybody else with the 160gb or 200gb free fall sensor drives suffer from the same problem?

    Maybe if I get it replaced it'll go away, was just wondering if this was just an issue with my laptop.
