Things to take note
-
Wifi will not work natively, it will require a USB dongle or a new card to be installed. I bought a
Broadcom BCM94352Z DW1560 802.11ac Wifi Bluetooth 4.0 M.2from eBay, opened up the laptop and replaced the existing card with the Intel one. After that change, both wifi and Bluetooth work fine, for a cost of about $30. -
SSD works natively, it's a samsung 960 series SSD

Things that have trouble working
