For what it's worth, I love my lemur from System76. It ships with Linux (that you can overwrite without voiding the warranty), and they of course guarantee that the hardware will be supported, at least by Ubuntu. The build quality has been great, and the customer service is great too. Plus the feel good factor of buying from a small US company. https://system76.com/laptops https://system76.com/laptops Mine is 3 years old, and the 8-core (ht) i7 with 16GB of ram has never let me down, plus the graphics are fantastic. Battery life is about what you'd expect from a non ultra-light (4-6 hours out of the box).
