   3. [Bug 99650] New: Suspend and resume take long time on Dell XPS 13 9360 (Kaby Lake)

2. Battery life

   1. GPU hardware decoding unsupported in Mozilla Firefox

   As the main processor is used for decoding the video, more energy is consumed, draining the battery faster than on Microsoft Windows. Newer Google Chromium versions seem to support it.

3. Slow wireless upload speed (only 2 MB)

   Solution: [With the adapter Dell DA200, use at least Linux 4.13.] (https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1726759)

Solved

1. Power button does not work with Linux: Linux Bugtracker, Debian BTS #848967

   Solution: Select INTEL_VBTN.

2. [XPS 13 9360 trackpad locks into scroll mode] (https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1651635)
