There are a few places which do laptops with Linux pre-installed, eg:

And others that do laptops with no OS:

Last time I was looking Novatach were recommended to me, but I ended up 
getting a reduced to clear Lenovo 3000 from Dabs - it was reduced 
because it had no OS installed :)  I've had no problem running Fedora on 
that, only requiring one non-open wifi driver from rpmfusion.

I've also had no problem getting Ubuntu working on the Fujitsu laptops 
we have at work, but I've not had the chance to try on anything released 
in the last 18 months.  At least if you stick with the major brands 
you're likely to find plenty of others in the same boat if you do run 
into problems.
