As I said in the beginning, I have a strong "emotional" attachment to Lenovo.
And traditionally Lenovo laptops have been very good with Linux. There is
even a site dedicated to Linux users and IBM has some excellent on-line free
tuition for linux users.
See this page for information on which models Lenovo considers to be
particularly Linux friendly:
http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/faqs/pc-life-faqs/what-is-Linux/
See the bottom of the page:
What Lenovo laptops are certified to run Linux?
But NVidia has shown itself recently to be fairly Linux unfriendly and has
been problematic. I think that it may be OK with proprietary drivers, but
the free ones seem to involve the addition of Bumblebee and a lot of
fiddling. I don't know whether all current Lenovo laptops have NVidia
graphics. The certified ones probebly don't.

In general terms, "new hardware" and "Linux" in the same breath rings alarm
bells. There could be driver problems.
Forgive me for the gaps. It is late and I need my bed. :-(
