I have 6 months with my FW16. Everything has been good so far, the laptop itself is overpriced but I'd say that the added value of repairability makes up for it. Will have to wait more time to see if they update the mainboard for the 16 inch model, but it has been a breeze so far.

For MIP and LP I have used CPLEX, Gurobi and to a lesser extent Cbc. I used those three using JuMP (Julia package for mathematical programming) and Gurobi via pulp and pyomo. Of all three, I think Gurobi has a very accessible documentation, note that I am not saying better or more complete which in that case it would go to CPLEX, and the integration with Python straight out of the box is very useful. Cbc is a lifesaver when we couldn't access the academic licenses of the other two. Overall, I think CPLEX/Gurobi are my favorites with a slight edge to Gurobi. I have tried formulating problems using .lp and GAMS but JuMP is so much more ergonomic even if it's strictly tied to Julia (which I find to be a good thing).

Others haven't said so but maybe you should try Warbreaker as it's the "most" standalone book of the Cosmere saga. It's the "most" in the sense that there are still subtle references to other works but they are very minor and you can totally enjoy it without reading the rest of them first. In fact, once you read Warbreaker you can see some connections with it later on the Stormlight Archive
