Any chance that you could share your graphics-related configuration (Xorg config, if any, kernel parameters, module options etc)?
I'm running Arch Linux and am experiencing some glitches.
- With SNA I get choppy scrolling in Firefox and the screen goes completely crazy when I exit Xorg (text flying by mixed with "war of the ants", sometimes it goes back to normal but usually requires a reboot).
- With UXA I get choppy scrolling and really bad 2d performance (think 15s to open a sliding hamburger menu, something that is very smooth with SNA).
- Glamor is the same as UXA, sort of.
Thank you in anticipation.

I couldn't PM you. I get the following error when searching for "x1" in the forums:
Warning: Declaration of vBForum_Item_SocialGroupMessage::getLoadQuery() should be compatible with that of vB_Model::getLoadQuery() in ..../packages/vbforum/item/socialgroupmessage.php on line 0

2. If by "choppy scrolling" you mean tearing then try adding to xorg.conf: Option "TearFree" "true"
To get rid of tearing on a modern Intel GPU without "TearFree" I think you need to be running a very recent Mesa stack and desktop with an OpenGL DRI3 vsyncing page flipping compositor. On Debian Jessie you will get tearing on XFCE (no page flip compositor, no DRI3 vsync), XFCE with compton (no DRI3 vsync), and Gnome (no DRI3 vsync). But TearFree works fine on all. Gnome on the Fedora 21 livecd has tearing too (I didn't try an updated install).

I just ordered one also!
I selected the upgraded IPS monitor.
I want to install Fedora F21. Any advice on how to proceed?
1. Did you install via USB stick?
2. I've never had to deal with UEFI before now. Did you turn it off in the bios?
3. Did you set it up multi-boot with windows (which it comes with)? I'm thinking to leave windows on a minimal partition (40G/256?).
I believe F21 install should included the tool to resize the ntfs partition.
Any other installation hints?

1. resize the main Windows partition leaving free space( I left ~75GB free). I used windows disk management
2. I disabled secure boot in the BIOS.
3. The only way i could get F21 to UEFI boot properly was by using the Fedora Live USB creator windows application to create a USB image to boot and install from.
4. I let F21 auto partition as it had properly detected the free space on the drive.
After that all good. Scaling on the hidpi screen seems to work well. Manually adjusting Firefox scaling works...no real solution for chrome yet. Onelink-pro dock seems to work very well although I have yet to connect any external monitors.
