Most things work pretty well, but there is one killer problem that would
prevent running Fedora: I can't get the display better than 800x600,
and it won't recognize an external display. These are presumably related.
Otherwise, the install (Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-1.3.iso) went
very smoothly. The "media test" failed, but booting into safe mode and
installing to hard disk was otherwise smooth.
(I can retry the "media test + live boot" and take a picture of the
resulting screen, if someone is interested.)
How did you create the media? There are several ways the media test
can be thwarted depending on how it's created; either dd or
mediawriter methods should result in valid media or it's probably a
bug somewhere - my first guess is bad flash.
Most of the things worked out of the box: WiFi, touchscreen, sound.
I had ordered one of these:

While the most critical feature (external monitor) didn't work, the
following did work: power delivery, ethernet, usb mouse and keyboard,
external audio. Cool!
I just need the display (internal HD and external 4k) to work or
else I'll have to run Fedora in a VM on Windows - which I'd rather not!
Just a guess, head to koji and find a 4.9 kernel and see if it's
working, or working differently, there. The hardware may just be too
new still.
