Dell
Inspiron 15 7537 ("7000 Series"); no discrete graphics; 1TB 5400 RPM drive
Ubuntu 13.10
Works pretty darn well (Saucy is my default boot) except:
* Transparency effects often show as checkerboarding (particularly bad on Gnome3 Activities view, or Steam)
* Dual-booting with Windows 8.1; when rebooting Win->Ubuntu, sound won't work in Ubuntu until laptop is powered off and on again
* Sometimes shutdown acts like reboot (doesn't stay off); sometimes works properly
* Hibernation appears not to work (EFI issue?)
* Sleep mode resumes about 95% of the time; when not, have to do 5-sec power button press
* Bluetooth seems to be too aggressive w/ power saving; can take 5 sec to wake with my old Logitech BT mouse after sleeping w/3 secs inactivity
* Battery indicator icon seems very slow to appear until something triggers like manual brightness adjustment
* Haven't tested SD reader
