I've been thinking since quite a while to replace my current laptop. It's a 2011 VAIO which I modified to run Ubuntu 14.04 . But, it seems to be giving up on me since a few days, and with the thanksgiving discounts going, I might actually get myself one :P So, what is the best laptop that runs Linux natively, or after modifying. Plus, try to make it a little more affordable($200 - $850). P.S. Nobody mention the Mac, it's a beauty in itself, and I won't be able to replace OS X by Linux emotionally.
