>Is the direct DC power connector weak? It looks a little weak compared to a Thinkpad connector but maybe its fine.
It's not weak feeling to me at all. I came from a MacBook Pro with MagSafe which was exceptionally hard to break, so by nature it does seem weaker than that, but not bad
>Will this 98Wh USB-C battery charge it?
It might, but not quickly. They Vega models ship with 150w PSUs
>Is the official Spectre USB-C battery too expensive for what it is?
Yes. It looks like a 60w capable pack so a third party could match it but 60w won't charge it very quickly
>How is Linux working with the latest 4.18 or 4.19rc kernels and latest Mesa stacks?
>
>Has anyone had success with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed?
>
>Has anyone had success with Qubes (the normal non-Vega seems to work by report)
I have no idea, don't use linux
>Has anyone had good results with undervolting and what are their numbers?
I was able to run a 100mV undervolt that was fairly stable. CPU temps didn't get about 80c. Just up to the silicon lottery
>What kind of battery life could I expect with Linux using mostly Visual Studio Code, Firefox and mostly light-to-medium PHP in an Ubuntu VM? Maybe with 15-20 minutes of non-GPU assisted youtube.
I have no idea, in Windows I get about 5-6 hrs of Visual Studio Community
>Has anyone tried the Toast wooden skin? It seems pretty cool if I could get it for less. I'd prefer probably just a more fitting carbon skin but this does have charm. Does it interfere with thermals? Is it a stupid idea or is it cool?
I haven't
>Are the refurbished units more likely to be due to coil whine or a faulty case or just someone not liking the unit? Are the refurbished units of normal quality. I ask because they can be a hell of a price but I don't want to get a subpar unit that just got kicked right through the system without fixing it.
I personally didn't want to gamble since HP is not known for it's customer support. I imagine a lot are returns that are cleaned and repackaged, some are probably units that shipped with something defective and were rebuilt.
