I believe both lenovo and dell ship laptops with linux installed.

I know that Dell ships some laptops with Ubuntu, but I don’t follow too closely because we use RHEL.  I have tested several models and many of the non-nvidia GPU models work great. Nvidia stuff is usually working with some quirks and caveats.  Fedora typically works quite well with it, due to newer Nouveau drivers and updated kernels.

Lenovo certifies many of its models with RHEL, and any of those should be fine with Fedora.  Most of the time, the fixes for RHEL support start in Fedora.  Check their support page for what is certified:

(Keep in mind, if it says “RHEL 8.3” that means 8.3+ or 8.3 or newer.  I’ve been bugging them to make that clearer.)

Part of my job is supporting RHEL on laptops so this subject is near and dear to my heart.
