If you want a linux machine, I would strongly suggest going with https://system76.com/ rather than getting a thinkpad or dell or whatever, if one of their options work for you.

The main thing I dislike about them is too many of their laptops come with 10-keys on the keyboard, with no option to not have it.

If you're not sure if you want a linux machine or not, I can't really comment since you know better than me how much this matters.

How are the touch pads on system76 laptops?

I’m pleased with just about every aspect of running Ubuntu on a dell XPS except that one.
