Too late, I will never buy Lenovo again, there are too many other reasonable choices of companies who don't make anti-Linux decisions then backtrack when they get covered in shit. Once bitten..

Don't forget anti-security, too!

I have a lenovo thinkpad x140e and I love it. It's underpowered and "bulky", but as a healthy adult I really don't care if a laptop is a few hundred grams heavier. I've dropped it once or twice as well.

But I am not going to buy a laptop that won't run Linux. have any recommendations?

Just keep buying Thinkpads. They are fine and support Linux. I would stay away from regular consumer laptops anyway.

The Dell XPS seems to get recommended a lot. I have a 2012 HP Pavilion which works fine with Ubuntu 16.04.
