In original configuration this laptop suffers from freeze on initial boot when 
the system attaches the broadcom wifi card to sys-net. To make progress needed 
to disable the wifi card in BIOS, install was then straightforward. 

Used an USB wifi for initial investigation/updates. Needed to assign the USB 
controller to the sys-net VM and allow non strict pci reset. ThenuUpgraded the 
fedora23 kernel to the version in unstable repository:

Linux sys-net 4.8.12-12.pvops.qubes.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Dec 3 19:12:54 UTC 2016 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

As there is only one USB controller on this board, this is not a great 
long-term solution. I then replaced the broadcom wifi card with an Intel 8265 
which works very well with the 4.8 v kernel. Generally everything now seems to 
work well: suspend works, touchpad works well, screen dimming, attaching usb 
storage. No touchscreen on this model so can't comment on that.
