Discussion
Currently dealing with an HP Sleekbook 4-1030us model… and it is not fun. My fan constantly runs, the heat is unbearable no matter the linux distro (I am not kidding, even Openbox could cook a few eggs on this thing). The battery life is atrociously bad (3 hours to the max). Cannot regulate fan via FanControl because it isn't recognized… go figure. Overall, i would not reccommend that anyone attempt to run Linux on this notebook at all, at least not until these problems are addressed, mainly with the identification and handelling of the Intel Ivybridge graphics cards (which i undertand will be better handelled in Ubuntu 13.04).
