Instead of Dell, you might consider someone like LAC
http://laclinux.com
They sell nothing but Linux installed on computers _AND_ they will pre-install
the real Debian!
I haven't bought from them, but plan to. Geary there did help me for free with a AMD kernel
issue a few years ago.
While I have several AMD servers, I would not let that control what you get for
a lap-top.
As someone that does hardware level work, I can testify that Intel is a lot more Linux
friendly than they get credit for - they make a lot (not all) of their hardware data sheets
available so drivers are easy to write. While not ideal, they have firmware drivers for wifi
that just drop into place ( /lib/firmwwear).
The thinkpad I set up for Linux went smoother than any other laptop.

for a living, the politician became about a quarter turn past hand tight.
