I use a laptop because I'm always computing on the go. My current laptop is a 4-5 year old acer with hinges that are barely holding.

Needless to say its time for an upgrade.

Things I want in a laptop:
-Linux compatablity a must
-small screen (not that important)
-nice keyboard
-Long battery life
-enough power for unimpeded web/programming
-Light gaming on ocassion(Things like nethack,df,minetest,openage)


If you use a laptop- which do you have and would you recommend it?

I've heard good and bad things about the Thinkpads so not sure what to think about those yet.
maybe a chromebook would do what I need?
Maybe if I didn't want to deal with the Chromebook ARM architecture I could get a netbook?
Recommendations?
