I've been consistently buying the Dell XPS 15" range. http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-15-l521x/pd?oc=dncwx18bw7&model_id=xps-15-l521x http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps

It's always tried to break the mould in design. They tried funky designer covers in the past. Lately they've been going with the metallic finish of macbooks on the outside(but better in my opinion). On the inside its the black soft touch finish(which feels so much more warm than an MBP). I also own an MBP btw. The one thing that PC laptops are getting wrong is the battery. The MBP battery outperforms the dell by atleast 2-3 times. But for me that's not an issue, since i work plugged in most of the time. Also the first thing i do is remove windows and install Linux. The machine boots in like 3 seconds flat. I've not had any issues with drivers or anything.

Gross, glossy screen that reflects light sources back in your eyes. Why do people put up with this crap?

  Not working under fluorescent lighting helps. I've never noticed lights reflecting at me from my glossy screens, but I am usually working from home, not in an office building with office lighting.

  I have the same problem with MBP, but anyways i usually sit with the light source in front of me, not behind. It's a good idea to do that anyway(although sometimes you may not have a choice i suppose)

Good linux support seems common with Dell these days? Looks nice, I'll compare that to the Mac competition next year when I change my Latitude e5520. The Latitude has non-glare FHD screen for less money. (Bought an SSD separately.) Only built in graphics is a feature; I can't play games :-)
