Moves like this are quickly pushing me away from Macbooks for dev. I need a *nix backend though. Does anyone know what the state of the art for Linux laptops is?

State-of-the-art is: get comfortable compiling a kernel, because you'll need to if you want to get sound.

Oh, and when you do get sound, the wireless cuts out. You can get wireless and sound at the same time, but only at 1024x786.

Seriously, gif you want to punish Apple by moving to Linux I can understand that. If you actually think it's a gain in productivity, you haven't seen linux on the desktop yet. It's like saying "enough with these kernel exploits! We're moving to macOS on the server!"

I was asking to get other people's experiences to see if it would be a gain in productivity. Not sure why you're so hostile to that.

I'd suggest Tuxedo Computers - http://www.tuxedocomputers.com

I bought the TUXEDO Infinity Book - 13" Full HD screen, 16GB RAM, Intel Core i7-6500U, 1.4 kg only. It works ok, I'm using Suse Linux + Cinnamon Desktop Env. There are two things I'd improve on the laptop: the touchpad could be of a better quality, the Intel Dual AC 3160 wlan does not have the best reception (may be a problem with the antenna?).

Who cares? I love my lemur. No frills, just a simple laptop.

Thinkpad W530, i7 3940xm, 32Gb RAM, with a xx20 keyboard.

If that's too big, T430.
