A word of warning: German magazine c't tests this laptop in its newest issue, using the pre-installed Ubuntu but also with Fedora 25 Workstation Edition (also with a Linux 4.9 development kernel), as well as Windows 10. The results regarding Linux compatibility are pretty bad:

- The battery lasts for 13h under Linux, which is not too shabby. However, it lasts a whooping 22,5h with Windows 10.

- The headphone port is very noisy with Linux. No noise whatsoever with Windows.

- WiFi performance is dismal in Linux. No problem with Windows.

- The HDMI port on the separately sold docking station does not work correctly with Linux.

For a laptop that comes with Linux pre-installed, that's pretty disappointing.
