I've always liked the stuff that System76 makes & figured I'd buy one of
their machines officially. However, the big announcement, for me, out of
the Ubuntu Developer's Summit was Dell's Project Sputnik- basically, a Dell
XPS running Ubuntu 12.04.

The great thing, is that if you already own an XPS, you can check out their
iso image & give it a whirl: http://hwe.ubuntu.com/uds-q/dellxps/

A laptop with a developer-focus in mind running a Linux distro is exactly
what I've been wanting. Everywhere I go & us dev types congregate, all I
ever see are Macs. The fact that it's built on a gamer-class laptop is
icing on the cake. :)

cheers,
