I have a 2015 rMBP from work, and I answer "yes" to 1, 3, 4, seen 5 several times with colleagues, 6, 7. My personal rebadged Clevo running Linux is "better", as the screen never flickers and it pretty much never crashes. The Linux laptop is also more reliable at waking from sleep than the Mac. I do like the Mac's body -- it's got a much better build quality. But it also cost twice as much for half the spec.
