The 18-core ARM laptop features 48GB RAM and a 2880x1800 OLED display. Working functionality includes audio, GPU/display, HDMI, keyboard/touchpad, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, USB ports, and SD card slot. The video accelerator (Iris) also works via in-flight patches and will be enabled separately. This follows similar recent patches for the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen11 and HP EliteBook X G2q. The patch series is available on the Linux kernel mailing list, with some SoCCP patches still pending merge. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
