  Best course of action is to find a notebook without dual video cards (optimus), and go from there. Find something you like, Google if someone has posted information about the laptop and go from there. Ubuntu on laptops now adays has pretty damn good compatibility if it's not brand new - but the kernel quickly fixes that if you use a kernel mainline version.

    Agreed with the dual video cards - my friend has trouble on his laptop, and I am pretty sure that's what causing it. I've been very happy with my HD4000 grapics card. It handles the desktop environment very well, is low power, and has excellent open source drivers. It's probably not amazing for gaming, but I didn't buy it for that.

      I had so many problems with this on my T400 running Ubuntu 12.04. I had roughly half the battery life compared to when it was running Windows because there was no way to disable/enable the discrete and integrated cards. That was so frustrating.

  I'm not sure this meets all your criteria, but I'm glad Dell is doing it: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd
