Any idea if Lenovo has fixed the coil whine issues on X1 Carbon's?

The constant noise makes it really difficult to use these machines for any kind of focused work.

Anecdotally, I've found that coil whine is much less of an issue in their chunkier models, eg P53 (not P53s)

I'll vouch for multiple X1C gen 9's being super quiet. No whine; fans rarely kick on, but are almost unnoticeable. Can't say the same for the Extreme/P1 series...

Thinkpad X is for marketing types.

Programmers want Thinkpad T or P.
