Installation

Intel Turbo Boost Max

Check that IntelĀ® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 is enabled using

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

An output of 1 means it is not enabled, so you will have to reset your BIOS to defaults. After doing that, running the command again should print 0.

You should be able to see your CPU boosting way higher.

Sound

This laptop requires Sound Open Firmware for the internal sound card to work.

Firmware

fwupd supports updating the UEFI BIOS, NVMe SSD, Embedded Controller, Intel Management Engine out of the box.
