I've got the Xiaomi Mi 12 laptop that is fanless. I've been using it everyday for a few months now, with Linux Mint 18.2 installed on it. I've not found anything that doesn't work. The biggest suprise is how well sleep works by closing the lid and how quickly it starts up after opening the lid. I find it quicker for waking up than my (work supplied) 2015 MacBook Pro. The touchpad isn't as good as the Macbook, but it is better than any other machine that I've tried

Is there anything you would like me to try out on it for you?



Just remembered something that might be an issue with it. I couldn't get right click to register properly. As I don't normally click on trackpads, but instead I tap - I set tap to be a left click and a `click` to be a right click.


Does yours have the switchable video cards? Does that work?

There were reports of issues with the WiFi. Is that good now?


I don't think it has switchable video cards and I'm not sure how I would find out. I've never taken it apart.

I've never had an issue with WiFi.
