I had some trouble with this Lenovo laptop, the WiFi was not recognized. However, with help from people on the list, the chipset was identified, kernel on the then beta 15.5 got the driver backported from upstream, and it worked. That was amazing.
There is still some problem that the WiFi doesn't always work after a suspend to ram.
Hibernation and suspending are known to be buggy. Even M$ WinBlows doesn't get it right all the time.
I had more trouble with my previous laptop, same brand. There are features that still do not work (limit charge to battery to increase life, for instance). I also have trouble with one of my machines with Intel video, so this laptop runs on AMD.
I haven't seen any issues with Intel graphics myself. Indeed, that's what I'm using right now on my home MSI desktop.
I had significant trouble on another machine with NVidia driver. The company ceased to support my card after a number of years and I had to go back to the opensource driver instead, which is slower and doesn't have (full) hardware acceleration, and the desktop crashes some times.
I've had problems with obsolete Nvidia cards too. But Nouveau worked well enough for those edge cases. Regards, Lew
