CentOS - Mar 2019 - C7 on Dell Precision 7530

Hello,

does anybody have experience with installing and running CentOS 7 on
Dell Precision 7530 series (w/ Intel gfx chipset if that matters)?
It can be bought w/ Ubuntu 16.04 LTS pre-installed (which doesn't
attract me at all), but prior to use such hw model at work, I'd like to
understand where I'm going to. Especially after my bad experiences
installing C7 on "modern" (read since skylake variants) hardware
whereas Ubuntu variants went better, gosh. Or maybe I should wait for
C8.

Of course I did dig the Internet for intel, found very few stuff and
this: https://access.redhat.com/ecosystem/hardware/3431551

Regards,

I see you got no replies to your question so here goes.

I've got CentOS 7 running on a Dell Precision 7510 workstation. It has
NVidia graphics
but I've never had problems with Intel graphics on any CentOS box before.
The install was
straight forward and it runs like a dream. 

YMMV ;-)
