Lol yes it is, measurably so. I have to accept this. If I wasn’t a po boy I’d probably feel different.

Yeah this was my very first unfiltered thought.

It’s absolutely a slap in the face and I’m a really pissed off nerd about this.

Although I can’t shake the feeling that it is, whether that’s true or not. I have the entry level one and frankly I feel pretty shat on. This “refresh” is everything the original should have been and it is incredibly frustrating. No, there isn’t a performance increase but it is overall, again, what it should be. Hell now even the lowest tier comes with 256NVMe? Fuck right off, I know it’s easily upgraded but it feels real, real bad. Color changing LEDs for different indications, now how hard would that have been to implement the first time around? I haven’t had many excuses to even use mine considering I don’t go out much and my main rig is…right there. Knowing this is coming, I’m now hardly even motivated to use mine, knowing how much better the overall experience is/will be. God damnit.
