My experience is that almost all laptops work with Ubuntu. I would
suggest Toshiba.

If the laptop is new, probably not everything in laptop will work out
of the box. You will have to wait for the next Ubuntu version, of the
one that exists the time you got the laptop.

This has happened to all home user new laptop cases I know.

The Certified Hardware is about computers used in Enterprise, not for
home users.
