I've received my Lotus Solstice-15 with upgraded 1080p display.
These are built in the USA by a small company in Orlanda called LotusPC.
I negotiated a fair deal and received one-on-one help from the owner of the company. He built the machine to our exact specifications, including the absence of an installed OS (for which we were not charged).
This PC is of high-quality, on the order of a Panasonic laptop, in the $800-$1000 range. It's extremely solidly built with keypresses not moving the adjacent keys, has a keypad, and even the base i5 CPU screams. Running Ubuntu 12.10.
Well, I’ve interviewed with them nine times, the last one being (I think) 2007. They had a chance to hire me - a guy who solves problems in the context of the big picture rather than a trained circus bear who can cite chapter and verse. They chose not to. Their mistake.
Good luck on your current venture. Maybe this was God's path to greater prosperity.
