Unless you have a special use case or are installing an old version of Fedora,
there
are advantages to sticking with the installer's default filesystem. Most new
systems
come with SSD, so the defaults should be well suited to newer mainstream SSD's
and typical usage patterns.
If you stick with a configuration most other users have, it is easier to sort
out any
issues that you might encounter. Also, your chances that other users with similar
hardware will have already encountered issues that affect your new system are
much better.
It is well worth checking for reports of issue with other linux distros on your
hardware. Newer laptops often have issues with wifi, sound, and display
drivers. Many long-time linux users keep a USB wifi wifi dongle and USB
sound devices for use when the available linux drivers won't work. For
display issues you usually a choice of open source and proprietary
drivers, and many high-end laptops offer two graphics devices (chipset and
a hardware accelerator). Worst case you may end up with degraded performance
until you find a proprietary driver that works with your hardware.

Thanks, I'll see what Fedora installer suggests. As for the compatibility I
chose a Dell that could come with Ubuntu so I hope it will be a good choice,even
if I got the Win version for other reasons.
