Well, I have a 'ZaReason 7330' that I'm very happy with. These guys
specialize in Linux laptops, which means they avoid hardware that's
likely to screw Open Source stuff. I have it dual-boot Ubuntu 12.04/Haiku.
(Not that I like the Ubuntu particularly -- may change at some point.)
Has an i2370M 4-processor CPU, 4GB memory, Centrino WiFi, and 15" screen
(glossy I guess -- don't know what 'non-glare' looks like...).
They have a big advantage for me in that they're just across town in
Berkeley (California), so I was able to drop in and check the system
out before I bought it. Don't know how they are for international sales.
Looking at their website, I see that they've upgraded to the 7440
( http://zareason.com/shop/Strata-7440.html ), but at a glance I can't
see much difference from the older model, except a newer CPU and
maybe one less USB port (? :-(). They also seem to have some new
boxes that I may want to look into (like a hackable tablet!)
