I am just researching this as well and have settled on the Dell laptops because they come pre-configured with Ubuntu and therefore I assume they will be opensource friendly. I have short listed:1. Dell Precision 7520 ($1502)2. Dell Precision 7720 ($1412)3. Dell Precision 3520 ($1352) Prices are based on my hardware choices so ymmv.

It served me well, every day, but is now falling apart, finally.
I would buy a new one if only Steve Jobs would be alive and keeping Apple inspired. The new models are meticulously designed to make you suffer: expensive, slow cpu, soldered ram, soldered disk, small disk, bad keyboard keys, wifi only, must pay extra for standard connectors. I have 1500EUR for a new laptop. What would you buy with it?
