Hi, Reasonably good configuration (core i3, 2-4gb, 500 gb-1tb) laptops are available for about 25-35k. You can get freedos with them.
If you want higher end machine, go for Lenevo/HP/Dell. Before buying, check hardware devices from the specs and see compatibility with your favourite distro. Most of the latest distros do have support for the current devices. Don't count on your vendor for any Linux support. Do it on your own or through forums like PLUG.
