Summary

  • All test is done on an Design Suite 29 based on Fedora Workstation with nearly out-of-box experience.
  • A bug related to ACPI prevents touchscreen and stylus to properly run.
  • The battery usage is about 6 hours depending of the use. Optimization such as powertop is needed to fully maximize power saving.
  • Microsoft Windows 10 has webcam handling authentification via Windows Hello. The equivalent howdy is yet available on Fedora repository but currently use CLI.
