> I wish more linux laptops had the build quality and support of macbooks. Have you considered Dell's XPS line[0] (or their business equivalent, the Precision 55XX/57XX line)? For a well-built notebook rivalling/exceeding the MacBook Pros, there's always the Precision 75XX/77XX line[1]. The new Precisions announced just a week ago with Intel Alder Lake CPUs[2] now have 16:10 displays, OLED, but still retain 'modern' features (some I consider regressions, like moving from dedicated trackpad buttons to a 'clickpad'). These are the notebooks with the new 'CAMM' memory modules. Dell always has options for RHEL/Ubuntu from the factory, and these notebooks also run other distributions (I have a Precision 7560 running Windows 10/Arch) very well.
