I like my Dell G7 17 - 7700 with Ubuntu installed.

A nice combination of power, form factor and battery life. I would prefer it to a MacBook or Blade any time.

If this is the case for you to, I don't know.

I've got the G7 15 7590 running Windows. I'll second that I'm very satisfied with power and form factor, and it's mostly a solid laptop that I'm very happy with. The biggest problem I've had is incredibly poor thermals even when playing mid range games, but this may be model specific (the 7590 was especially bad I believe) and is something you can try to address by repasting. The built-in speakers were pretty poor as well, but most people are probably using headphones.
