I got a Lenovo Y510p. Amazing machine. Running Ubuntu 13.04. The most common problem with any linux machine is FLASH VIDEO! They don't support DRM content (HBOGO, Amazon, xfinitytv, etc...). It's been a pain trying to find a work around. Also, video drivers can be a pain.

Great!! I heard about this machine and is planning to buy one soon :)

Though I am confused between Y510p and MBP I love the freedom linux give and don't want to sacrifice it :(

How's the Wifi running on Y510p? Have you tried installing Arch linux?

Don't. The Y510p has a really cheap screen. I know its price sounds enticing. I compared its screen with my Macbook Pro and it looks very "washed out".
