- Hardware compatibility just works. (Wifi, sound, HDMI, graphics, suspend, etc.)
WiFi is really hit or miss. Macs are a huge miss, using b43 driver 802.11g is the best that gets supported. The proprietary driver is a pain to thread the needle to get it to work. It's super crappy. I'm not sure how to make it better. Meanwhile, this HP Spectre I'm using, WiFi works flawlessly out of the box, yay Intel Wireless I guess.
Although Intel Wireless is not without it's issues, there's been a lot of issues with it the last few years around 11n and faster support where to make it stable you basically disable the faster speeds.
