In general, which laptop is best for running linux?

Why do you limit to HP and Acer?

Don't care that much about brand. Open to any, just looking for general suggestions. Start class soon and have antique Dell desktop that has problems with normal operations. Don't know if it would survive partition for parallel operation of second os. Plus have some Pell money left over.
