I have been buying off-lease used Latitudes and Precision laptops for years for the sole reason that they are always Linux friendly and solidly reliable. Most of them can be ordered new with Ubuntu.
I am using Dell Latitude series for more than 10 years (professionally, as a dev, so you can imagine that the system is not sleeping during working hour), solid hardware and good Linux support. I only saw minor degradations across 4 laptops and only one or two tricks sometimes necessary like for the wifi or eth chip when configuring the system but I always win at the end.

Hi,
I'm recently retired from my university job. I am looking for a laptop to run CentOS 6/7. My university was a traditional Dell site so I've used Latitude laptops for years, currently E6500/E6510.
Anybody got any experience of running CentOS on the newer Dell Latitudes E5000 or E7000. These are not certified according to Redhats' Hardware Guide.
Alternatively Precision Workstations would do. These can be supplied with Ubuntu installed so they run Linux.
Thanks,
Tony
