I beg to differ, Razer hardware far exceeds the MBP (IMO) and matches (and somewhat exceeds) build quality:

Here is a thread about running Linux on the new blade:

Also, there is always the Dell Sputnik program and I find the XPS 13/15 series to be comparable to Apple build quality these days:

Now if you want first class support for Linux (at least Ubuntu) and don't mind some build quality compromises, System76 has been a great experience for me:

TL;DR: The options for Linux laptops have never been better.
