See the article at Pocket-lint. The next time I buy a laptop, I really want to get it with Linux pre-installed. With both Lenovo and Dell planning to offer Linux, I might even have a choice of laptops!
I'm afraid that putting openSUSE on my HP laptop has thrown up too many hardware driver issues, and so it hasn't been a good experience. For laptops, and for the foreseeable future, I think there will be a lot to be said for taking whatever Linux distribution the manufacturer offers, and just being grateful for it.
