well then i would suggest not buying that model. i keep editing this trying to find a non-snarky way of conveying the following: basically, you do still need to think a little bit. if you want to avoid thinking completely then you probably aren't going to enjoy linux. in general, thinkpads have good support for linux. i've had various x series laptops over the years and they've been very solid (more so than my partner's macs, where i need to keep replacing fans and power cables). for desktops, just build what you want. as long as you avoid strange or very new hardware it generally just works.
