I have a high end lenovo ideapad using linux. I liked the specs for the price. (16GB ram, terabyte of space, high end i7) for 1200. Some would debate the RAM or hard drive, but I personally needed the higher ram for the kind of work I do (yes 8GB wasn't enough) For most web development work though, I couldn't see it mattering that much. Actually having hard drive space is great too. I definitely wouldn't get this thing for traveling though. It has terrible battery life. If I had my way, I'd get an ultrabook like sputnik or something else. The specs for the ultrabooks aren't quite there yet. In general, I'll just suggest lenovo as the macbook alternative.
