===== Support overview =====

  * The hardware generation is the same as the 7th Generation [[Laptops/Thinkpad_X1_Carbon|Thinkpad_X1_Carbon]]. However, I don't have access to a [[/X1C7|X1C7]][1], and the Spectre forces S0ix suspend/resume. I don't suspend/resume.

  * The webcam privacy switch works out of the box. Unlike [[/ThinkPads|ThinkPads]], no kernel modules/sysctls needed.

  * Backlight works with the hotkeys (at least on GNOME and KDE) and ''%%acpi_video%%''. ''%%intel-backlight%%'' doesn't work.

  * You need to run 12.2 or newer. 11.x and 12.1-RELEASE aren't supported.

  * Like the [[Laptops/HP_EliteBook_1040_G3|HP_EliteBook_1040_G3]], this laptop has HID-over-I2C. However, unlike the said [[/EliteBook|EliteBook]] (and like the [[/X1C7|X1C7]]), this Spectre has no PS/2 fallback. You will need ''%%sysutils/iichid%%''.

    * If you want to use this laptop (especially if you go 4K), GNOME and KDE are good options. Xfce and %%LxQT%% felt sluggish.

    * FHD may be a better option if you prefer something "lightweight" like say i3, but I have not tried this

  * DO NOT USE ''%%powerd%%'' otherwise the fans will run at full speed and the laptop runs hot

===== Files =====

None!

===== Footnotes =====

[1] - I did get a non-X1 [[/WhiskeyLake|WhiskeyLake]] [[/ThinkPad|ThinkPad]] from ''%%$DAYJOB%%''. One that's heavily locked down BIOS/OS wise, and barely used (a PAW, not my main work laptop), so I can't boot from USB. I do not want a [[/ThinkPad|ThinkPad]] for myself.
