I can confirm this. It’s the same with mine. It is very hard to click the touchpad on the top left and top right corner. Except for that, the touchpad feels nice.
The loud fan annoys me too.
But touchscreen works well out of the box (fedora 42 kde) and my old Surface Pen works too.
What’s definitely a downer for me, is the sound. My head hurts after listening for a short period of time with sound (especially voice) coming out of the internal speakers. But the reason seems the placement of the speakers directed to left and right out of the chassis, instead for directly at me.
And the locking mechanism of the modules seems to work well on the sage usb c ones, but not that great on the usb a and hdmi silver ones.
