Hello, I'd quite like to get a Linux laptop to ssh onto servers (and some development). The most important thing here to me would be resolution and price. Ideally it would be under $500 and have the best resolution possible.

Can anyone recommend one?

A little bit general but I got the

Toshiba CB30-B-104 13-Inch Chromebook (which your link suggests). :)

Thank you.

My criteria were pretty similar, and I settled on the Lenovo Yoga 3 11 inch- Ubuntu 15.04 installs perfectly- everything works out of the box.

That looks good but a little bit pricey for what it is to me. Especially as I actively avoid touch screens. Thank you however, it does look like a good laptop.

In the end I got the:
