Laptops in this price range should not have coil whine, electric buzzing sounds or screen flicker. I would've returned it immediately.

I have to use a very expensive HP Z-Book for work with a power adapter that has a loud coil whine. I've fixed it by not using the power adapter and only plugging it in when I'm away for lunch or on the toilet.

yes, this is absolutely not acceptable for a real work laptop in 2016.
