Thinkpads have already been mentioned but I also highly recommend the Dell Latitude, especially the 7490. They have fantastic keyboards, great battery life, and absolutely amazing displays (among the best 1920x1080 displays I have seen on a laptop). Plus they run many Linux distributions out of the box with minimal configuration.
If you live in the US or Europe I'd recommend the US/UK Dell Outlet. You can get a Dell Latitude in great condition (often like-new condition) for a nice deal, especially when they have their laptop promotions. I've had a good experience with their onsite service as well.
- dfawcus 8y agoI looked a those, but found the 5400 series more practical (I use a 5480). US keyboard, 3 button mouse, and it has the same screen resolution, but a slightly more readable dot pitch. For me the choice was based on the 3 button mouse, and the screen pitch. What annoys me is that the only way to get the USA keyboard (for a UK purchase) was that the machine was procured in the USA. This is one thing Apple get right - offering the USA keyboard layout in the UK market. That said, I don't like the feel of the current Macbook keyboards.
