See [2] for UX330UAK (Kaby Lake) hardware information. Physically labelled with UX330UA-AH54 on laptop, but shows UX330UAK in the output of dmesg. See and contribute to discussion tab of this page for fixes.

Compatibility

Touchpad

Works after installing xf86-input-libinput.

If default Palm Detection does not work well, one can manually disable part of the trackpad by setting AreaEdge properties.

You can do this on the fly or add these parameters in the config file: 

 $ synclient AreaLeftEdge=500
 $ synclient AreaRightEdge=2500

Works Perfectly as of Kernel: 4.11.2-1-ARCH and xf86-input-libinput.

Wifi

Intel Dual Band wifi. See Wireless network configuration#iwlwifi for details.

Graphics

No issues to report so far. Working perfectly with Intel HD620.

See also Intel graphics#AccelMethod.

QHD+ Pentile Display

Some models include a 3200x1800 (faux-3200x1800 RG/BW Pentile) screen, which displays very tiny characters, and can make them difficult to read due to its incomplete subpixel matrix.

For Firefox and Thunderbird, add the below property in the about:config area 

 layout.css.devPixelsPerPx=2.

Function Keys

Kernel 4.11.2-1-ARCH FN+f5 lowers brightness, fn+f6 increases brightness, fn+f11 lowers sound, fn+f12 increases sound. Working fine with Arch and gnome without tweaking anything.
