Intel Turbo Boost
Check that Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is enabled using
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
An output of 1 means it is not enabled, so you will have to reset your BIOS to defaults. After doing that, running the command again should print 0. You should be able to see your CPU boosting way higher.
Suspend
The BIOS has two options for suspend: Windows and Linux (aka S0ix or "modern standby") and Linux S3. Both S0ix and S3 modes work on this system, but there is a bug that causes the trackpad to become laggy after resuming from S3 suspend.
Sound
This laptop requires firmware in order for the sound card to work. Installing seems to be enough to get audio working. See Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#ALSA firmware.
