What is the best linux laptop out there now?

Apple's 13" MacBook Air running any linux distro is crazy but good.. OS X native is the single best platform but if you're Linux orientated then Ubuntu on a MacBook Air 13" is insanely good.. and low cost.. even new!!
I only just saw your post. Did you experience any issues getting Linux to run on 13" MBA? I tried running Ubuntu 12.04 on a MBP (with an non-Apple SSD) and it just wasn't quite right.
I really want good battery life, so I would go for a 13" MacBook Air. I believe Linus Torvalds uses MBA to run Linux. Unfortunately I couldn't find much information on what the gotchas are. My MBA still runs Mavericks and I run Linux on an old HP notebook - the battery life is just too short for any serious work on the road.

If you're going to say "powerful," a Lenovo Thinkpad T440p with quad-core CPU.
If that's not light enough, then...a Thinkpad T440s. Or a Dell Latitude E7440. Wait, I mean, a Panasonic Let's Note LX3.

Dell Latitude e7240 is damn good with Ubuntu 14.04 desktop on it.. pick one up on eBay for a reasonable price.. 12", SSD, quad core i7..

In this case, let's say that cost is not a big issue.
Light, 13 or 14 inches, and powerful.
Suggestions?
