I’ve been running this as my daily driver for about 3 weeks and it is working fine.

  • Suspend works well although overnight the battery can lose about 60% of its charge. I just turned off hyper-threading in BIOS today and will let you know if this improves things.
  • Audio over HDMI doesn’t work
  • I installed using discrete graphics and then tried moving back to hybrid. Unfortunately this meant that I couldn’t use an external monitor with the laptop monitor off (something I need). I moved back to discrete and the external monitor now works perfectly.
  • I have used the P51 with a Lenovo dock (Ultra model) and everything works perfectly.
  • For some reason the number 1 button (and exclamation mark) don’t work on the laptop keyboard. I use the numpad “1” as a workaround. My USB keyboard works perfectly including the “1/!” so very strange. I may have used the wrong keyboard setting when installing?

Very happy overall with my Qubes P51 setup.
Maffs0.
