Support was terrible last May when I bought the laptop. Now everything works except the hidpi issues. But that's not laptop problem.
Overall the only problems I face is with
- GTK2 apps, they look awkward. Eg. very small icons
- Spotify, Steam, Skype will look very small
However the biggest turnoff is that whenever I connect to external display (1080p), I have to apply a weird command with scaling and panning options. This results in blurred look, a bit lag and fan spinning hard. I wish there was some option to do selective font scaling based the screen.
