It's really weird getting used to minor differences. The trackpad on this only clicks from the bottom for example (granted I only learned to click the top with my index finger when the 2015 MBP was worse at letting me rest my thumb, it always thought I was doing some gesture)

Another immediately weird thing is that it's a 1080p screen, so it's lower resolution than the MBP, but because every pixel is an actual pixel and not 1/4 of one, apps think it's higher resolution. Which means Twitter is thinner.

Its a bit thicker than the 2015 mbp, but honestly given this has an RTX 2060 I'm surprised it's as thin as it ispic.twitter.com/eUwvyvt0Ly

I just realized this has a slot for another hard drive if I want one. Wait. WAIT. I CAN ADD MORE RAM TO THIS MACHINE.

I’m in a similar spot. Thinking about a Linux laptop. Would love to hear more specifics on the laptop you choose and how it works out for you.

I haven't decided if I'm going to dual boot linux or not, going to give WSL a try for a while first and see how that works out. This machine is a Razer Blade 15. I wanted something relatively close to my MBP in form factor, with a decent graphics card.
