The best logical answer would be to buy something that comes with linux after reading a review to ensure that it meets your needs.

Right that's gonna be my strategy going forward. I should have mentioned I had to stick with windows on my gaming rig because I don't currently have the money for a new laptop.

I've heard Dell and the Thinkpads work well with Linux. Got any other suggestions?
