Hardware support on linux is very vague as far as purchase is concerned. Most vendors make sure hardware support is there on linux by default in the latest kernels.
The question is more like: Fedora or linux certified laptops. Picking out random bought laptops for a budget wont really make any sense, keeping the customers budget in consideration.
All laptops work well with linux, except for AMD proprietary drivers.
The open source drivers are amazing though(gallium-llvmpipe) but lack user control over the hardware.
My lenovo g5045 with an AMD 6410 works amazing ly well but the mouse touchpad doesn't, so does my older HP G6 2005AX with and AMD A8 4500M
Just my 2 cents as a newb.

Pam.

IMHO: there is also a large difference in audience. The Ubuntu Hardware page is for people who might be worried that their hardware will not work with Ubuntu. I do not think Fedora's user base is as timid.
My experience in the Computer Science Dept at the University of Illinois is that the researchers believe Fedora is too bleeding edge and want something current, but on slower cycle. So they prefer Ubuntu, CentOS or previously Scientific Linux.
The Ubuntu certification page makes it easier for the researcher to justify to their group leader that the purchase is a good decision so they can focus on the code instead of getting wifi to work right.

Hi______________________________
We had earlier an HCL hw database, just we had retired long ago -
because of plenty of subversions of hw, and were a mess. Ubuntu has
preloaded laptops, desktops that they are selling - we don't have
that. Moreover every year mass of laptops and computer components are
appearing, and I think there is no chance to cover it continuously, as
we are changing Fedora either in 6 month cycle.

An article with the best hardware and laptop models that support Fedora out
of the box will really attract Linux newcomers to make Fedora their first
choice.
Ubuntu already makes it easy through a large list:

Hello!
I don't remember anyone bringing this topic, but if it's possible to do
it I would love an article about this. I think it could be quite helpful.
Cheers,
Sylvia

Has someone considered making an article about the best laptops to
install Fedora?
