I haven't installed Linux on it yet, but I've been really impressed by the Microsoft Surface Book - even leaving aside the tablet functionality it's just a really nice laptop, with the best features vs size/weight I've seen going.

The poster explicitly said Linux, and that's the sentence you start with?

Yes. In my experience good Linux hardware is mostly just good hardware, and there's an active surface linux community so there's likely to be good driver support. But I don't have direct personal experience of it yet.
