Good tip. I found the Asus U31F which looks like a good machine, or Asus U36Jc with Nvidia graphics. From my local vendors, the U31F has a better battery, and the way things are going with linux graphics drivers, the Intel "embedded" graphics on U31F might be a smarter choice (not from pure performance, but support of chipset features, like "good enough performance" and "powersave modes" etc). YMMV.
