I bought a Thinkpad X1 Carbon with Windows 8, had no issues getting Debian on there (minus having to manually upgrade kernels as 3.2 was a bit old and was causing issue).

Although the Carbon also support non-EUFI booting which made it easier, it shouldn't be that hard to get linux running with EUFI. What caused you trouble?

I am typing this on a Toshiba Z935 that shipped with Windows 8. Wasn't a terrible pain to fix that (Quantal now), but if I had wanted to dual-boot, it did look like it would be more of a headache.

Unless of course you're planning on using Windows 8 as your only OS.
