No Issues
Wifi, BlueTooth, graphics accelleration, everything works.
Tried boot camp
Didnt work with OCLP
Tried Dortania method
Worked until I installed bootcamp then it didnt work
Screen went black. Something wring with nvidia drivers maybe
Installed Parallels
handles it fairly well.
Performance considerations
Can handle 1080p in Davinci Resolve but stutters with 4k even with proxy media
Screen got glitchy running windows AND debian vms a the same time.
Opinion. Excellent Keyboard and great trackpad.
Low res camera but can use iphone camera instead.
