Does Apple have a patent on the exact dimensions of the MacBook Pro? I'd love a purpose-built Linux laptop that was compatible with all the hardcases and whatnot for the MBP.
I own a 2015 Razer Blade 14 and am overall fairly happy with it, just be aware that it is a gaming machine first and foremost, and as such has very mediocre (~5 hour web browsing) battery life. This is compounded by the notoriously bad power management on most Linux distros, and there are some minor driver support issues (mostly due to the NVidia 970M). I ran Manjaro on mine for a few months before going back to Windows 10 after Windows Subsystem for Linux came out, mostly for gaming reasons.
