And… that was the joy for 3 seconds.

Multiple good reasons actually:

• 2.8k version, comes with a great 2.8k display. A very high quality screen, high DPI (can be set exactly to factor 2x DPI scaling, so no fraction scaling).
• The new screen also have improved brightness (higher brightness)
• The 2.8k version despite the name, also has bigger battery of 61Wh compared to the 55Wh
• You will also get the 2nd generation webcam module, which not only gives better image during day light, but also in low light conditions

YES! Big yes. I have one as well. Very pleased with it. Be very sure you pick the new 2.8k display version. So either pick 7640U - 2.8K Display or 7840U - 2.8K Display. Which works great for Linux, WITHOUT the need of fractional scaling.

Also be sure to pick the correct + right amount of expansion cards for your needs. 1 USB-C will be used for charging, so just saying.
