Personally, I use a Macbook Pro. I don't want to spend time messing with my configuration files. I want to focus on what gets money flowing into my pocket. To answer your question, I've heard great things about the Dell M3800. You can get Linux preloaded and get a higher resolution screen. Dell has worked with Canonical to make sure the hardware support is there. Before this machine, I had a Thinkpad and I really had trouble understanding what all the hype was. I don't think I'd buy one now after Superfish.
