Since you didn't mention any kind of budget constraints, you might want 
to consider Thinkpads (previously IBM, now Lenovo).

The build quality is generally high (especially for the more expensive 
series, like T) and you get detailed manuals on how to take it apart for 
upgrades or repairs.

Compatibility with Linux is also generally very good and there are even 
some models that come with Linux pre-installed.

Many Linux developers like them as well (not least because of the very 
good keyboards) which only helps with compatibility.

If price is a concern, even second-hand / refurbished Thinkpads usually 
provide good value for the money.


Hope this helps,
Andrei
