Been considering getting one. They come with option of Ubuntu. But I read too many complaints on things like coil whine, HiDPI, and low uptime on battery.

Did hear about coil whine - mine doesn't exhibit it.

HiDPI looks pretty good for the most part.

I largely run with AC power, so really need to test this (I've only had it since Friday).

Hmm? Doesn't the Kaby Lake have like 20+ hours of battery life with the fullHD screen? 14 or so with the hiDPI?

In Windows. Driver issues in Linux drop battery life to more "normal" levels, IIRC.
