    OK --- new weirdness of the week re: my new SZ.

    When the machine is plugged in, on stamina mode, on AC power, and the screen is at max brightness, it's quiet apart from the fan noise (which is perfectly fine with me). If I turn down the brightness of the screen at all (doesn't matter if it's 1 or 7 steps), an audiable buzz appears. When the computer runs on battery power, that same buzz is apparent. It's a quiet buzz, but noticable.

    Thoughts? Anyone else notice this?
