I've been using a Razer Blade 14" as a daily work computer for several years now. It's been running great, and I've frequently recommended it in previous HN threads. The best part is that it runs Ubuntu almost flawlessly. (Usual Linux caveats apply, hibernate is borked and the Nvidia drivers are wonky, but you won't be gaming on Linux anyway.)

The only downside is that repairs are expensive and require shipping the machine to the shop which will take weeks. (Though I haven't had to send mine in, yet.) I wish they sold new batteries separately so users out of warranty can replace them themselves.
