If you expect the full support whatever that means you better go with the company like System76 and similar, see http://linuxpreloaded.com.
But it will cost you extra, and the "extra" I'd rather left to the users themselves to study the hardware components and everything related to it, and to build their own machine from bottom to top i.e. barebone, see e.g. http://goo.gl/gMImde.
After all we are dealing with the Linux, right. I also understand the different user preferences, so go ye therefore, and be fruitful.
"Power" is just a marketing buzzword, too much saké or something, I guess.
