I am looking for a new laptop running Fedora. A real workhorse but

Btw, what is the highest vertical resolution I can get? I used to have

does anyone know anything about the Samsung laptop with 1440 vertical
resolution?

Is there any hope of this coming to the market? (I could not find it
anywhere online.)
Many thanks again for any and all suggestions!

I'd look at the Thinkpad T430s with integrated graphics. You can get
1600x900 resolution and it's quite light. I had the T400s and everything
worked with linux. I've since opted for the W530 (I needed higher res
and more RAM) and it's been good, too. However, the W530 is very big and
heavy. If I didn't need the resolution and RAM, I'd have gotten the
T430s myself in a heartbeat.
The nvidia card is a pain, which is why I recommend integrated graphics
(it's flawless in Linux and the integrated is tied to the external
display, where the discreet models tie the nvidia to the external port,
which means you have to futz with the binary drivers to use an external
display). I always upgrade to the top-end wireless NIC and it works
perfectly with Fedora. Same with the Camera and bluetooth. The only
parts that don't work are the fingerprint reader (I've not played with
it, it might be workable) and the microphone mute button.
Btw, as i said in a different post, the W530 does not appear to be
available with the Intel graphics card.
I was also wondering: do these (X1/T430s, etc) come with ethernet slot
or whatever those things are called? I have heard that nowadays even
this is not a given on many of ultrabooks/notebooks.
Many thanks,
Ranjan

Not sure about the XL's but I DO know the T-430's come with an ethernet
