Linux on laptops really comes down to picking the right laptop. I have both a Thinkpad (work) and a Dell Inspiron (home) running Debian. Both work really well by default. I know HN folks tend to really like Thinkpads, but I honestly think the Linux compatibility of my Inspiron is as good if not better. Also just stick to Intel integrated graphics. AMD and NVidia can work, but they are a pain.
