Would like to know which laptop that might be...

  Pretty much most and Thinkpad or Dell works out of the box. You may have to change a setting here or there for some advanced things like adaptive charging, but most of the time the core OS works very well. There is also Framework laptops, and Librem laptops that are linux first. My current DD is an Ideapad with Manjaro, which even being somewhat more bleeding edge than Debian based ones, has not only been flawless, but things like Nvidia Optimus work straight out of the box, with external displays.

Especially when comparing with Macbooks - you have way less hardware choice there.
