Are there no other suggestions beyond the 2012 MBP?

I use arch linux on a Lenova Thinkpad T580, and I'm really happy with it, but I'm not sure about the colour accuracy of the screen. I doubt it's as good as you find on an Apple.

I, for one, am really interested in good, high quality alternative to apple laptop hardware, that meet the parent's criteria.
