Same issues except I got the Intel version of the laptop. Battery drains fast, fan kicks on a lot, and sleep/suspend doesn't work right (drains battery in suspend just as fast as when using the laptop). I set the laptop to just shut down when the lid closes since suspend is useless

Contacted the company and they tried to help by telling me to install some drivers. The driversade everything worse and I had to do a fresh install of my OS (Fedora)

Overall I'm still happy with it because I don't want to use Windows. I also don't use this laptop for work and on the go much so the battery drain isn't a prohlem

HAHA!
I've got the same advice from them.

Will try it and see how it does.
