I went with a Dell Latitude 3180, which is basically a Chromebook that comes with Windows instead. I wanted something 10+ hours battery life, small (11-13" screen), fanless so that it'd be quiet. --Linux works 100% --11 hour in-use battery life so it doesn't live plugged in --Dead quiet (no fan) --Has good enough specs to get by (N4000 cpu, 4gb ram, edit: also a ssd rather than flash storage, which makes a big difference, and I have a 256gb microsd for extra storage) --Not a convertible and has a real keyboard I paid about $200 for it. It gets used more than my $1k laptop.
