Hi Tom,

Does it have to be new out of the box new? There are many of us working
happily with second hand Lenovo Thinkpads - and a year old machine from
a bankrupt business is relatively easy to source.

The latest/greatest may have it's own problems: you may also find 
that Dell or Lenovo are selling Linux-qualified laptops new now.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
