The problem is the compatible hardware is in there, the driver exists, it's just disabled in bios. If you hack the bios to flip the bios setting linux installs fine.
I don't think many would care, but the lenovo 710s has some pretty unique hardware. Nice intel CPU, nice intel GPU (iris 540), and a nice matte screen.
The Dell XPS 13 is similar, but to get the nice cpu/gpu you have to get a shiny/reflective screen that cuts your battery life almost in half (22 to 12 hours).
