Lenovo Thinkpad laptops are pretty good, and in my experience run Linux very well. Get something with AMD APU (there should be new models coming out soon with Zen 2 + Vega). The only annoyance is their refusal to refund Windows tax. But now Lenovo partnered with RedHat/IBM and started selling some laptops with Linux pre-installed (Fedora), so you can avoid Windows tax there, even if you don't plan to use Fedora. I hope that will eventually extend to all their models.
