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.
