New Razer Blade (Stealth)'s compatibility with Linux

Hey guys,

I have an old Laptop with battery issues and a very slow CPU I'd like to replace with some smaller and more modern device. While looking for one I came across the new Razer Blade (Skylake) and the new Razer Blade Stealth (Kaby Lake), which feature high-end hardware and a nice design.
At the moment I'm wondering which one has better chances to kind of "just work" (with the fewest inconveniences). I know that the Blade uses PRIME for the dedicated GPU, but since I wasn't able to collect some experience with it this is new ground for me. But on the other hand, I know that it's better in most cases to have a dedicated GPU when the device becomes older, so that might be an advantage of the Blade.
The few information I found in the internet showed me that the rest of the Blade and Blade Stealth should work on Linux without major problems.
What are your experiences with the Razer Blade and the Razer Blade Stealth?

Thanks
