Hi, My Model is 15-ab125ax
I Would like to report that I have same problem as OP (Disk speed, keyboard, AMDGPU-Pro) and problem with wifi. Ubuntu 16.10 does not boot ("AMD-Vi: Completion loop timed out" followed by kernel panic). I had a lot of phone and email conversations with HP support and it does seems like my Laptop is locked for WINDOWS 10 ONLY. Currently I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with self compiled 4.7 kernel from AMD staging which allows me to install AMDGPU. I'll try 4.8-rc4. Hope this is helpful to someone.

It seems Ubuntu does not like Amd carrizo fch I collected some information and posted here (and attached as text file to report): https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/360373 To put it short, the disk performs up to 10 times better inside virtualbox. (yes I thought about caches but VM box also has half the memory and they must favor ubuntu running on real hardware with twice ram....) I believe this is a kernel/driver related problem since it directly effects disk performance.
