Is that with the 'Infinity' screen or whatever they called it? I just got the 1080p one and don't use scaling. I had a Yoga with a hidpi screen and agree that a bunch of programs just don't work at all with scaling in Linux.

I should have just bought a Thinkpad :-) It's the Infinity display + preinstalled Linux that caught my attention.

It's sad to see you had trouble. With the latest version of it (9350), I had trouble at the beginning but upgrading the kernel to 4.4 solved all of them.
Also, regarding #3, I've heard Linux Mint as great HiDPI support in their last version.
1) the touchpad never worked; 2) the keyboard still has problems; 3) some of the more important programs look just horrible on Linux, as the resolution is just too high; 4) sometimes WiFi just does not work;
...so much for the Sputnik project.
