Nice idea to show the screenshot of Fedora running on a laptop on the 
website!

Out of the Lenovo's, only the Yoga Pro 2 [1] looks visually appealing 
enough to make Fedora shine, with the downside that another distro 
"owns" orange (this is from a purely visual point of view, as the 
Lenovos are nice to work with, but that's another thing). Another issue 
with that is that it comes with a big windows logo on the front.

On the other hand, the blue Zenbook has the upside that it's blue, and 
that's a color that is strongly connected with Fedora [2]. I'm not sure 
if others have been referring to the more common silver model in the 
thread, but if you can get hold of the blue one, that's a big win, 
especially if the lightning makes the silver one ending up looking all 
white.

The Samsung Series 9 might also be a good pick [3]
