I don't know specifically what specs, tech support/warranty, price, etc in a new Linux laptop but I've been very happily running Debian/Ubuntu on used & refurbished Lenovo laptops for almost a decade. I've found the Lenovo hardware to very well supported. Nary a problem w. the exception of wireless nic drivers a few years ago in which I had to go hunting around for the correct driver. In the end I just learned more about Linux and installing drivers! =)
I prefer to do my own install instead of paying a couple hundred extra $ to a Linux reseller for similarly spec'd laptop as ThinkWiki is a really great resource for installing Linux on Thinkpads! http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki Also, Canonical works closely with *Lenovo* to certify Ubuntu on a range of their hardware. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/make/Lenovo/?category=Laptop And Linuxcertified (http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-laptop-lctp.html) sells Lenovo laptops w. Linux pre-installed. Cheers!
