Happily Recommend this:

http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Carbon-2014-A-Fantastic-Revision/

Or The Haswell revision of the Acer Aspire S7

Or the Asus UX301


Basically if you are buying a laptop new. Don't buy anything that isn't a
Haswell chip - mainly due to battery life issues with Ivybridge series.

Also avoid anything with 'Hybrid' Graphics. There are issues with EDP panel
recognition under even intel-drm-next kernel trees with these due to poorly
implemented and documented EDP matrix splitters between graphics chipsets.

I have it on Authority that Haswell will be the last chipset where
Optimus/Hybrid graphics will exists. Good riddance.
