Trackpad also doesn’t work under Linux with the NFC model. Hardware wise the webcam and sound are beyond horrible. The fan curves are obnoxious and it still gets uncomfortably hot. It’s such a shame, I had high hopes for this laptop but it’s collecting dust in a drawer. Between the sleep states, track pad, thermal issues and throttling, poor audio visuals and battery life … the thing really should never have had that price point.
- rayiner 8y agoI've got that laptop and it's fine in Windows. Maybe the problem is Linux, not the laptop?
- olivil 8y agoI run linux, have the latest BIOS, but it is not the NFC model, with the "HDR" screen and i7-8650U. I idle around 43C and my fan is completely off under 50ish, at which point it (very silently) ramps up. I get 8-10 hours of battery life, and the screen is fantastic (and very very bright). However the speakers are worst than a 200$ smartphones. No issue with the trackpad as it is a non-NFC model. I suggest OP revises his configuration...
- anon1253 8y agoIt’s running Windows now and sleep just works. But the trackpad still randomly stops working after sleep, needing a reboot. I get 2,5 hours of battery with normal usage. And it runs uncomfortably hot and loud but CPU utilization is at 2%. I guess it’s just not my thing or I got a dud, but my experience with Lenovo customer service has been horrible.
- dkhenry 8y agoI have this labtop and have had none of these problems. I am on ubuntu linux with a patched initrd. The trackpad works like a champ, the screen is magnificant and the webcam works great. It does got hot, but only when I am under heavy load. So far this has been a great step up from my 2013 macbook
