System76 is a company that is dedicated to making Linux hardware. You will have the least driver trouble with their stuff.

  They ship with Ubuntu; you can easily put another Linux on. You can get more power than a Dell XPS13 for less money, albeit at a substantial weight penalty. Support is very good but hardware turn-around is not fast.

    The bodies are tweakable so you can install some upgrades yourself. I'd wait for their Haswell lineup personally, since it is right around the corner and promises a lot of power consumption improvements.

    I have a System76 laptop. I agree with DSR on all points. Turnaround is not as fast as, say, HP. They have a range of 4 basic laptops, each of which is configurable. I was more concerned with power than weight so I got the second most powerful one. I almost always have it plugged in when using it. I have used it on battery two or three times, and it seemed the battery was used up rather quickly. I have not spent any time looking into that yet, you might want to check what people say about the battery. I might just need to enable power saving mode or something. I have been happy with it, it works well for me.
