Question for the lentils out there: What makes and models of laptops are good these days? Traditionally, you could just get an IBM ThinkPad if you were willing and able to pay extra for quality, but judging by reviews, they aren't as consistent as they used to be. A 'nice' laptop has to get a lot of things right: fast internals, sturdy case, quality keyboard, excellent battery life, and good heat management, to name a few. Are there any manufacturers that sell machines worth buying anymore, or do you have to compromise?

As to the original question, I recently got a lite HP SpectreXT Ultrabook, Linux runs perfectly on it but I had to pay the MS tax. And also a much beefier and bigger Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed (the option is really well hidden on their site). Buying Dell was basically the only way I could get a QWERTY keyboard in a non-querty country; and other options.
