Also in the HN thread that came up more than once, and comes up on users@ and forums often, is power management. This might be a bigger problem on some hardware than others. My Macs are always hot and run fans even when idle - I suspect the GPU runs in a non-idle state by default - and also results in awful battery life.
Meanwhile the HP Spectre so far I'm getting at least 5 hours active work, and if Firefox or Chrome aren't running, I can get 9 hours - without powertop, and looks like a couple hours more with it but it's still early testing. However, with kernel 4.8.x, suspend to ram isn't working, where it does with 4.7.x, so that'd be a regression, and rather a bitter pill of one too, even if it's narrow in scope.
