Honestly, ditch the "office" and "pro office" type of notebooks. They are smoke and mirror only. The quality is not that good (except the expensive ones, but they are heavy, ugly and not that good by performance). Many will say, but the office/pro notebooks has long term driver support and all driver perform well! And has support. But then the question: do you will use your notebook for 7+ years? No, you will not. Nobody does.
Ditch all the ultrabook. For coding, you do need raw power. Buy gaming notebook. Raw power, 4-8 core, 16-32gb ram, ssd. Dedicated vga, better for any kind of container. Driver support as good as others.
Ofc. by price it will be high, not mac-high, but 1-2k.

Perks:

upgradable all the time,
own peripherals,
Mechanical Keyboards :P,

Well, that is an option but then you lose portability.
