Try a 2015 Dell XPS 13. Fits all your specs, also has a developer edition with Ubuntu already installed.

Developer edition is not out yet... I thought. I got one a couple months ago and run Arch on it. Support for the microphone hasn't made it into a kernel release yet, so I thought they were waiting for that to release the developer edition.

Also, it only supports 8 gigs max right now. I'm sure a 16g single dimm will come out eventually, so you could upgrade it yourself.

I believe the RAM is soldered on, upgrades may not be very feasible.

Oh no... you're right. I guess I'll just convince myself that 8GB is TOTALLY enough :-(

No, it doesn't. The XPS 13 can only have a maximum of 8 GB RAM.

It's true, but I thought the limitation was that it only supports a single dimm and there aren't 16GB single dimms yet?

I believe the RAM is soldered in, so it's not like you could replace it later.
