Seriously considering going Linux full time now, I'm traditionally a Mac user and while OSX offers most of what I need I fancy going Linux full time as I spend about 60% of my day in the shell and much prefer the lightweight feel and usability of i3 window manager.
So, my question is, would you guys recommend any particular laptop (obvs with full support), I know there are a bunch out there but prefer to take personal recommendations, I know could convert my MacBook Pro but I'd make decent money selling it.
I'm not even that worried about moving to something second hand really, I just want full compatibility... but please, nothing with a crappy trackpad, that's the one thing that will drive me mental, I've been spoilt by my Mac
PS: Not being lazy, I've looked at a lot, but so many laptops are reviewed as Windows machines and I'd really like to get full time Linux users perspectives.
PPS: Guess I should mention I rather like the Dell XPS 15 9560, this is the one that's stood out to me since I started looking, but most definitely not the 4k version though as scaling just doesn't work well (that I've found) under Linux, anyone using this model?
