Hardware support on linux is very vague as far as purchase is concerned. Most vendors make sure hardware support is there on linux by default in the latest kernels.
The question is more like: Fedora or linux certified laptops. Picking out random bought laptops for a budget wont really make any sense, keeping the customers budget in consideration. All laptops work well with linux, except for AMD proprietary drivers. The open source drivers are amazing though(gallium-llvmpipe) but lack user control over the hardware. My lenovo g5045 with an AMD 6410 works amazing ly well but the mouse touchpad doesn't, so does my older HP G6 2005AX with and AMD A8 4500M Just my 2 cents as a newb. Regards, Pam.
