Razer Blade 15 for me now from my Air instead of a future Pro

  How do you like it? I'm just changing from LG Gram to Razer Blade 15 Advanced to have more power for programming (and have CUDA programming capabilities), but I don't have the laptop on my hands yet.

    The shift key placement is the only crib. Everything else is good, no give in the body. Bigger battery than base model, TheUnlocker on YouTube also did a comprehensive battery life test is various modes & turns out the Battery saver one actually performs on par yet delivers 7-8 hours of work. Even I got it for the CUDA compute.

  What have others switched to from MBP? How do you like them? I know, trackpads are inferior, but other than that. I went from 2017 MBP /w keyboard and display issues to 2017 razer stealth, which I didn’t like (heavy, keyboard not to my liking, fans makes contact with chassis when carried from corner, Ubuntu didn’t run on it very reliably even after tweaking). Then I got 2017 Google pixelbook. I flashed coreboot[0][1] on it and installed Ubuntu (audio doesn’t work so I have usb-c audio adapter) - couldn’t be happier: keyboard is excellent, it’s light, it was relatively inexpensive (for low end i7, 512gb , 16gb ram), it’s silent (no fans), display is 3:2 aspect ratio (I think) and it’s not 4k, hardware feels nice and solid. Other than audio issue, Ubuntu runs solid on it after some tinkering. If you’re willing to tinker with it s bit - google totally nailed it on this![2] [0] https://www.coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.org [1] https://mrchromebox.tech https://mrchromebox.tech [2] https://www.google.com/chromebook/device/google-pixelbook/ https://www.google.com/chromebook/device/google-pixelbook/
