If you wish for a reliable laptop, then I also recommend a Lenovo Thinkpad, which I have been running Ubuntu for a long time.
That said, this does not extend to all Lenovos. Their consumer line is not as robust. A consumer Lenovo came to me recently, the screen was so flimsy and unsupported, no wonder the screen broke. Not all Lenovos are created equally.
Yeah we bought an ideapad once. Never doing that again. What my wife's T430 has gone through is nuts while still working. Yesterday the (almost) 2 year old was standing on it (it was closed). Still working, although it appears the chasis may be slightly bent now. I believe he is about 35 pounds. Poor thinkpad. Not to mention how many times it has been pushed onto the floor from the coffee table, yanked by the power cord, had things stacked on it, etc. -- Len Sorensen
