Real Linux support. Using hardware that's half supported gets old once you're relying on Linux 100% to get your work done. I'll pay a premium, and have, for the assurance that the entire package works well with Linux. Also, look at how expensive M2 MBPs are. Spec one out to a comparable laptop in the OP and the MBP will be more expensive.
