I have tried many, believe me.
First thing, if it has glossy screen I would quickly discard it - your vision health is worth much more than a pretty picture in Facebook.
Having said this, I would go for dell XPS family.
They are not cheap but they are very robust. In addition, screen border is almost nonexistent so all it's size is for your screen.
Very good Linux support (there is a a version that ships with Ubuntu).
Keyboard is fantastic and the combination of carbon fiber with aluminium works great, in my opinion.
Give it a try.
- cerberusss 7y agoRecently I ordered a matte screen protector for my MacBook Pro, and it works really well. I would not immediately write off all laptops with glossy screens. (Note I don't have a recommendation for a particular screen protector, I used a local supplier in my tiny little European country).
- pachico 7y agoGlad to know people can now work with glossy screens. It still seems a workaround to emulate what I consider a must, though.
- trilinearnz 7y agoSeconded. I use one on my Surface Pro 6 and it makes it a substantially more versatile system.
- taneq 7y agoI love my XPS 13 and have written a fair bit of code on it in various circumstances. It's small enough to use during takeoff and landing and the battery life is enough to last a full day. No numpad but otherwise full sized keyboard.
- jerome-jh 7y agoI would add: matte, IPS screen. The latter cannot be fixed with a screen shield. +1 for Linux support on Dell's laptops. Usually everything works straight after installation, contrary to Lenovo and HP. I do not recommend HP hardware at all BTW.
