Just to be a little different: if you want something small and
powerful, I have had very good success with the Dell XPS 13
Developer Edition. <br>
<br>
From a processing power and physical size point of view, it is
roughly the same size and weight as a MacBook Air, but with an i7
processor and 8GB of RAM, it's about halfway to a MacBook Pro. <br>
<br>
It comes with Ubuntu 12.04 preloaded, works fine with 14.04, haven't
tried Debian. <br>

<br>
Downsides: <br>
<br>
* you may or may not like the 1080 resolution on a 13" screen<br>
<br>
* 8GB of RAM is soldered in place, it's not upgradeable, so it's not
a good Big Data laptop<br>
