Sign me up. Ubuntu has been a decent attempt at a desktop Linux, but there is no "great" laptop hardware for it. Commercial Linux so far seems to be about two things: server, and cheap crap. There does not seem to be any interest in the power user or developer who needs a workstation, despite the fact that this is the one thing desktop Linux truly shines at. And when I say workstation I mean for work, i.e. not a web/email appliance.
Now maybe the power user market just isn't big enough to cater to, or the economics around copyleft makes it impossible. I don't know. But I sure would like a portable Linux workstation that's actually good. And I'm not talking about a heavy, fat System76 laptop with 1-2 hours battery life. Mac hardware has a real edge in this area.
