I just wrote in a different comment that this completely sold me on Dell.

I got a Dell laptop from work with Windows on it. Installed Ubuntu and it immediately prompted me to update the firmware. What an amazing experience!

I always recommend Dell to people looking for a Linux laptop. Although I hear Lenovo started to get their shit together too in the last few years.

I am using both a professional Dell latitude laptop and a personal thinkpad on Fedora and both receive firmware updates. And I am pretty sure I saw the Dell USB-C docking station receiving updates through this too.

Not sure this applies also to non Latitude/Thinkpad consumer models though but I tend to never recommend them anyway.
