I wonder how well IBM is supporting linux on their new Thinkpad models?
With their strong show of support in many areas, perhaps they would be a
possibility? Have a read through other peoples' experiences with IBM
laptops at:

and

Also, linuxcertified.com has a range of new or refurbished laptops
certified to work with linux:
