I don't get it: a Linux laptop with physical buttons on the touchpad but only two of them. I've been pasting text with the middle button all the time since forever and any time I had to use a two buttons mouse or touchpad it was hell. My ZBook has three buttons. It was one of the reasons I bought it.
Less visible downsides: only 1 TB SSD (I have 3 TB now), 16 GB RAM (I have 32) and the screen is smaller as the laptop is "12.73 x 8.44 x 0.75 in; 32.34 x 21.46 x 1.91 cm"
The only good points are that it weights almost half of mine and it's numberpad free :-)

The reason I haven't bought HP Dev One is glossy screen.

Been using linux for 10 years, had no idea you could paste with the middle mouse button.

It is probably the #1 feature I miss on other platforms, and its also a second copy buffer (different than ctrl-C/V)
