Most Lenovo's will do and you can get their consumer laptops for ~$400 ($380 for a G Series one atm on sale). Dell's XPS 13 is the developer laptop and certified, but >$1000. NVidia and ATi gfx chips typically work fine, but Intel GFX is best supported and given your specs you aren't looking at framerate intensive gaming or graphics applications. I have a Dell XPS 12, 8GB Ram (iirc, need to check), 512GB SSD, i7 2.7GHz, 13months old which can be yours for $700, the camera however is not working under Linux (Ubuntu 14.10) hth, O. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
