Iris Xe Graphics

There were frequent lags in the screen updates (both Xorg and Wayland) e.g. when typing in a terminal, the characters sometimes show up delayed. This problem exists with the linux 5.12, 5.13, linux-zen 5.12, 5.13 and linux-lts 5.10. Upgrading to linux-next-git^AUR (as of 2021/06/22) or a 5.14.3 kernel fixes these.

Touchpad

The touchpad is not very responsive. Sometimes the cursor jumps randomly when trying to perform a tap. This can be verified with https://no-cursor.com/, taking 60 seconds to complete the test.
