Notes
- Memory is upgradable up to 32 GB RAM.
- Noticeable gain of performance after upgrading both storage and memory to SSD 1TB and 16 GB RAM.
Installation
Fedora supports secure boot enabled by default in the laptop so the process is streamlined. Dual boot with the pre-installed Windows 10 is simple by preserving the /boot/efi partition which includes the HP System Settings to access UEFI.
Touchscreen & Stylus
Fedora kernel 4.19.3 fixed an issue preventing the touchscreen to properly function. The bundled stylus ELAN 264c currently requires a missing data file located at /usr/share/libwacom to access to Gnome Wacom Tablet settings.
Orientation Sensors
This model has an AMD Fusion Sensor Hub currently unsupported on Linux kernel due to missing driver.
It is listed as 03:00.7 Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device [1022:15e4] from lspci -nn output.
Storage
This model comes with a 7200 RPM 1 TB hard disk drive upgradeable to a solid state drive (in this case a Samsung 860 1 TB version). It also includes an extra slot for a non-volatile memory express (NVME) drive.
Summary
- All test is done on an Design Suite 29 based on Fedora Workstation with nearly out-of-box experience.
- A recent fix is applied for bug related to ACPI preventing touchscreen and stylus to properly run.
- The battery usage is about 6 hours depending of the usage. Optimization such as powertop is needed to fully maximize power saving.
- Microsoft Windows 10 has webcam handling facial authentication via Windows Hello application. The equivalent howdy is yet available on Fedora repository but currently use CLI.
