I need a subnotebook (<14") with discrete graphics, and an i5/i7 processor. I have seen the sony vaio z, which I think is perfect, but it has problems installing my OS of choice, which is obviously not made by a company named after a fruit which is green and has a bite taken out of it. Any suggestions?

The one thing I hate in a laptop is a flimsy feel, so I prefer a sturdy laptop, but I can build my own case if that isn't possible.
