Remarks

Works great more or less out of box, save for the wireless.
Swapping the Wi-Fi chip was quite easy, just a few screws on the bottom of the laptop, and then pry it open. See report for replacement wireless chip hardware.

Only annoyance is that the trackpad has a bit of difficulty with the built-in left/right click, but I have not tested this on another OS, so I am unsure if this is a hardware or driver issue. However, the trackpad also has left/middle/right click buttons above it (below the keyboard), so I just use these, instead.

Touch screen and media keys work great out of box.

Seemingly, doesn’t work with sys-gui-gpu, just boots to a blank screen, or a blinking cursor, depending on configuration.

I may have done something wrong, but after 3+ days I gave up on it.

Runs sys-gui and sys-gui-vnc just fine, however.

Update:

The trackpad’s mouse is totally fine, actually

When I took apart the laptop, I accidentally let something, (a piece of electrical tape?) get in the way of one of the shell’s clips near the trackpad. I unscrewed the bottom, popped everything correctly into place, and now the trackpad works great!
