* Palm detection: disable the trackpad, use the trackpoint like a boss. * Display: did you have the WQHD IPS option? Did you calibrate it on Linux using DisplayCal and a calibrator, such as Datacolor Spyder? Mine (T25) is really nice even though it got some negative reviews. Doing a calibration really fixed lots of issues. * External monitors: I'm using i3-gaps and xrandr setup, but can't really help because most of the time I don't need an external monitor with my laptop. Linux is such a no-brainer for me as a development OS that there is no going back to OSX or Windows. A tiling window manager, minimal installation of software and the magic combo of Emacs + st + Firefox is a deal braker for me. |

* Yep. Never got good results.
* Yep, the issue was not with display layout (I did configure with arandr and then xrandr directly, but that had more to do with some distros supporting old pre-display config Xfce).
And yep, agreed, that's why I'm just using a desktop tower now. I'm not saying the issues I experienced are truly intractable, but I've been using desktop Linux at a low level for a while now and got to the point where I threw up my hands... ymmv.
