It is often tricky to buy a recent computer and to install Linux on it.
Here are a few problem I ran into when installing Linux Mint 18.1 on my T470s
Unable to install GRUB
Solution: Do not forget to create an EFI partition.
Wifi & ethernet don’t work
You can manually install a more recent kernel (instead of the 4.4).
On another computer, download a more recent kernel:
wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.17/linux-headers-4.8.17-040817_4.8.17-040817.201701090438_all.deb wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.17/linux-headers-4.8.17-040817-generic_4.8.17-040817.201701090438_amd64.deb wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.17/linux-image-4.8.17-040817-generic_4.8.17-040817.201701090438_amd64.deb
Copy everything on the T470s and install the new kernel:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.8*.deb linux-image-4.8*.deb
Reboot.
