Ultraportable, long battery life and good spec CPU isn't really niche though. The last four companies I've worked for have wanted exactly that in a laptop. Dell have had a pretty good reputation for producing laptops that function well and survive being thrown around a bit. I would tend to avoid 'enthusiast' laptops, as that typically means poor battery life and less than steller build quality, both of which dsio is trying to avoid.
A lot of people think badly of Dell, when the only Dell hardware they've had experience with has been the cheap bottom of the market products that Dell offers.
