Hi all - I just received a brand new R61 with a C2D T5450 and it has CPU whine problems when running on battery.
Nearly all of the "standard" solutions (BIOS power management settings, killing C4 and/or C3 in RMClock, etc.) are stopgap measures that seriously carve up the battery life, which is already the Achilles heel of this machine and not something I'm interested in compromising at all.
So I suspect I am going to try and get it exchanged, but I'm wondering how many of you have this issue before I subject myself to this process and/or decide whether to just cut my losses and fight for a full refund.
Thanks!

I have an X61s, and I hear some cpu whine when I first boot it up. Thankfully, it usually disappears after a few minutes of use.

i have seen macs and dells that have it
i thought it was a CPU issue
I dont know if you can get a notebook with a C2D that doesnt have CPU whine issues -
I seem to get to get this CPU whine at random times (on battery or plugged in), although it usually doesn't less more than a minute. It's also pretty hard to hear unless the room is otherwise silent or I put my ear close to the laptop's heatsink.
