Just got my Lafite II i7-6500
Ubuntu 15.04 doesn't support the 8260 wireless card (yet), so I'm trying a pre-release version of Ubuntu 15.10 - the final release is due out in a few days so it's unlikely to change much.
The good news is that everything I've tried so far just works:
- booting / screen / display / keyboard
- wireless
- touchpad (pointer, left, right, 2-finger scroll)
- webcam & audio
- suspend/resume
- function keys for suspend, wireless on/off, volume mute/up/down, brightness up/down, screen blank, browser page, keyboard backlight off/low/high, bluetooth on/off, touchpad on/off
I've not tried hdmi or sd card yet
First impressions are very good. Occasionally the trackpad seems imprecise but it may just take a little getting used to.
Minor niggles: the hard disk (500GB SATA III 7200rpm) is a bit noisy when its working, but nothing bad. And the i7 sticker isn't stuck on straight!
It is an HD display but only 13" so at full defaults things are small. For me, going to Ubuntu's Screen Display panel and setting the "Scale for menu & title bars" to 1.25 works well.
