Sleep/Suspend

S3 suspend will work out-of-the-box as long as Intel microcode is loaded.

Graphics

As long as and are installed, PRIME will work with the default configuration. The GPU will automatically power off completely when not in use.

All video outputs (HDMI, USB-C) are connected directly to the Intel UHD 620 Graphics.

Intel GVT-g is compatible with this laptop.

Function keys

Pressing and holding the fn key actually makes the function keys emit regular F* keysyms, so it works in a sort of inverted fashion for the top row keys. There is no physical 'Insert' key.

1. The key is visible to and similar tools
2. The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function
3. systemd handles this by default

Touchpad

The touchpad itself and the lower pair of buttons are visible as the "SYNA3091:00 06CB:82F5 Touchpad"; upper pair of buttons belongs to the "PS/2 Generic Mouse", however. "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" and "SYNA3091:00 06CB:82F5 Mouse" are visible, but do not produce any events.

Additional hardware

The laptop contains an M.2-2242 B-key slot, designated for the LTE modem. Alternatively, one could install an additional SATA SSD.
