If you want to play it safe, just get a laptop with a discrete graphics card and no onboard graphics. If you try to use Optimus with any CUDA based work, you'll have to do quite a bit of work on top of what you're already programming to get things to turn out well. :)
I tend to think System 76 ( http://www.system76.com ) makes great computers - but I work for them, so I'm probably a bit biased. I'm sure you could find plenty of great hardware that is supported well in Linux though if you're willing to google a bit. Hope that helps!
