Have you had a chance to run Linux 3.10 (or earlier, but not 3.11+) on
it? Or read any reports of that version of Linux on this laptop?

I don't know if this could be related, but the Radeon kernel driver in
Linux before 3.11 (FreeBSD's driver is based on 3.8) doesn't support
many power management features. That's why I'm asking about Linux behavior.
