well... clearly not :)

Dell provides Ubuntu laptops -> support ... also, Dell top the list in
numbers for Ubuntu certication: https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop
System76 build Linux laptops -> support (lifetime)

Lenovo does not sell a Linux laptop afaik .. it's just that the distros
support them, or you have to hunt really well.

Of course, if you can find a suitable, second-hand & new enough (else it is
money wasted IMHO) laptop that your distro of choice gives good support
then it is a good option.
