I don't begrudge anyone buying a laptop with Linux pre-installed, but at least in my experience, most mainstream laptops work pretty well out of the box with Linux nowadays. In the past decade, I've used a a custom Sager notebook, a Lenovo Ideapad, and most recently, an HP Elitebook, and on all three, wifi and graphics worked without needing to do any driver configuration. On the Elitebook (which I'm typing this comment from), the touch screen even worked out of the box on Linux, which surprised me, as I wasn't planning on getting it working myself if it didn't.
