Fedora 15 is most likely to be the Gnome 3 showcase. Its release on May 24 is nicely timed to allow them enough time to integrate Gnome Shell. As a desktop distro it's second in popularity only to Ubuntu, which makes it the most popular distro to choose Gnome Shell as its default UI. But all this shouldn't affect your hardware purchases. A System76 machine should run Fedora just as well as it does Ubuntu.
