My new MacBook is totally flawless... no dead pixels, no case warping, no whine or moo. BUT the MagSafe charger makes a very weird high frequency whine. It's definitely NOT the MacBook, it's the charger. It's almost a staticy sound. Anyone else with this issue? I'm going to call Apple tomorrow. I don't want a new MacBook, though. I'm hoping they'll just exchange the charger.

Mine does it too. My black macbook is flawless (well the hinge squeaks when you shake the macbook, but that won't count. any ideas there?) silent 'cept when gaming, and wonderful. The wall adapter makes that high freqency sound. I didn't notice it the first day or so... but I have a friend who said that's normal - but he has a dell. :D Seems like the white plastic is cursed though. Beautiful black macbooks with no problems, white ones with all sorts of issues (in my experience from reading on these forums).
