I wish I had a fix for you, I am in the same boat. New laptop, but cant even boot LL.
This is no fault of LL, but hardware manufacturers making deals with microcrap(microsoft)
I tried every method, except desoldering the uefi chip, LOL. No luck.
ALL my other computers are 4 years old or more(core2duo's) and work just fine.
The one way i use LL on my new laptop is VMware VM, not ideal i know. Not to mention i erased Win8, went back to Win7 on a SSD. I am going to try to disable all options related to uefi to see if it will boot LL, maybe just start from scratch again. But hardware manufacturers info on the BIOS stuff is hard to find. I posted much about this on a thread here in the forums that got off topic related to my Nvidia woes as well.
I will update with any progress, but hardware is going to be the obstacle here. Too bad System76 is way overpriced. A LinuxLite laptop could be a great idea............
