I'm in the process of thinking to switch from Mac to Trisquel. I mostly surf
around and do not need any special features. Connect network with cable and
use external USB3 storage. Extra external monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Where I live there is now a drive on probably a Clevo W550EU or W551EU. With
I7 3612QM (No vPro or TXT), optical drive, 16GB ram, 250GB SSD, 1920x1080
IPS-panel, Intel only graphics for 1400 USD. No Microsoft tax on that
machine.
The machine:

I want Bluetooth to sync old style mobile phones address book (Nokia). A USB
bluetooth adapter will probably fix that.
How is the support for Clevo laptops? Laptops based on Intel, is it only the
wireless card that can be a problem? Then no problem for me?
I would like too buy from Think Pinguin or System76 but then I have to buy,
if possible, new keyboard and replace the old on the laptop. System76 runs
Clevo and get a new keyboard and replace the old is probably not so hard.
System76s Gazelle Professional looks very interesting but how is the support
for Haswell in the free software world right now?
PS: Split the forum in two parts, one hardware and one software?
