http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/ubuntu?c=us&l=en&cs=19That's the Dell Ubuntu laptops.
We use Dells at work and we don't have any issues with 3rd party plugs. Even if there was a problem a replacement power brick ranges from $50-$120. We've used Dells for over 4 years and we've never had a power brick go bad. We've had users break them, but never go bad.
I use Dell every day and recommend them especially since the hardware is fully supported.

I'm buying a new laptop really soon. What do the members of KCLUG recommend for a Linux only laptop. Pre-installed or no OS is fine with me, I just don't want to pay for something I'm never going to use. I'm willing to spend in the neighborhood of a grand, give or take a few hundred. So, I want a fairly nice machine, light weight for travel, but durable and reliable. And, it goes without saying, Linux friendly. You guys are super resourceful, so I wanted to tap into the vast knowledge base on this list.
Thanks in advance for your input.
