What does "Linux laptop" mean? Are you basically paying $1000 for high quality drivers for all of the computer components?

More importantly, if companies keep on releasing Linux laptops and only laptops we may really never see the Year of the Linux desktop :(

Well linux on desktop mostly just works. Linux on laptops has been a headache for a while with awful battery life, trackpad issues, wifi issues and things like that. So personally I don't feel the need for any dedicated linux desktop release compared to the laptop space where I appreciate more of a guarantee that the drivers actually work and I won't spend all my time messing with linux internals trying to get it to work.
