 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_49.0.1.bin for module i915

There are roughly fifteen similar warnings. Missing binary files in same path include [skl_|bxt_|kbl_|glk_|ehl_] and there are one or two more binary files possible missing as well. i915 is a GPU or graphics chipset, so this firmware may be related to the graphics subsystem of this laptop.
