Don’t buy System76 hardware and expect to get firmware updates from the LVFS

They still haven't fixed the coil whine? I've heard complaints about that since the first Dell XPS. Their forums were filled with them. Most reviews mentioned it. They used to even do motherboard replacements to fix it. Youd think their number one priority for their next-model power supply would be to eliminate that. No other manufacturer seems to have this issue.

It's a matter of luck.

We use XPS at work for all technical employees and only one laptop had coil wine issues, and we got it replaced.

Argh, I should've gotten mine fixed before the warranty expired.
