Fingers crossed that my coil whine isn't too bad.
How did I do?
Any other suggestions besides replacing the piece of shit qualcomm kill internal wifi card it comes with? Going to put an Intel 8265.NGWMG Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 in it instead. The intel card is supposed to have better performance and plays nicer with Linux.
I got the 512 gig SSD. Was planning on partitioning it and running windows on 256 gigs, Ubuntu on 128 gigs, and then trying out Arch or Gentoo on the last 128 gigs.
Ubuntu because I don't know linux too well yet, and then Arch/Gentoo to get firsthand experience working with a different side of Linux that's more involved.
Any other suggestions/feedback/flaming?

If you already have windows 10 on it and you want to learn about linux, then just make a partition and use arch, anon.

I just got a new 15 9560 with no coil whine. You might be fine.

Why are people so obsessed over this? I've had plenty of computers with coil whine, but it's never been audible when I left my window open.
Why didn't you get an x200 and install gentoo on it anon?
