	- This device supports firmware updates through `fwupd`. - Prefer deep sleep over s2idle which is inefficient. - Remove old cruft in the corresponding readme.

*Mostly copied from 15-9550

 | 
						|
== Tested Hardware ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9980HK
 | 
						|
* RAM: 32 GB
 | 
						|
* HDD: 1 TiB SSD
 | 
						|
* Screen: 15" 4k (3840✕2160)
 | 
						|
* Input: Touchscreen and trackpad.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Firmware Configuration ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Not much tweaking of NixOS itself was needed. But we currently cannot automate the firmware setup, so this must be done by hand.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== Before installation ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this.  (If you just have SSD it's pointless and just slows things down needlessly anyways.)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== After installation ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ''Add systemd-boot to UEFI boot list.'' The (uneditable anyways) settings mapping drive UUIDs to HD* work fine.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== Optional ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* ''Update BIOS.'' According to Reddit, this helps with battery life.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Firmware updates ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You may use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform firmware updates.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Power management ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Deep sleep is preferred to the default S2 sleep mode, in order to reduce battery draining during suspend.
