I have one. Best laptop I've ever owned. Chimaera needed a bit of a
massage, since there was a bug with Intel's Xe graphics (or wlan card)
on the offered 6.1 kernel.

Daedalus shouldn't have this issue at all.

"Probably". I avoid suspend at all, given years of it being
problematic from so many other vendors.

Sleep did work when my wife was being "helpful" and closing the lid to
move the laptop, but I've since disabled the lid switch.

HTH :)
