Most people don't have a problem installing. Of course searching will mostly find the people that did have problems since people without problems usually don't post anything to say "everything worked fine". That laptop is very new and it is possible some part of the hardware isn't supported by the kernel in Debian 9. It was released in 2017 after all, quite a bit before that laptop existed. You could try the installer for testing (The Debian 10 in development right now) to see if that works better. I suspect Debian 10 will make it out sometime this year. -- Len Sorensen
