That'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.
