If you don't need a dedicated GPU, the APU offers from AMD are great. They have native linux drivers for everything (on the AMD side, double check the nic/touchscreen/touchpad). I'm using an HP envy x360 15z with a AMD Ryzen 2700u running gentoo and love it. The HP envy has a weird keyboard, but it was a good tradeoff for the AMD setup when I bought it last year. There is a much larger market in 2019 for AMD laptops, so you should be able to find something to suite your needs.
