Is it worth waiting for a Dell/ASUS/Other-top/ desktop for unimpaired Ubuntu?

In the past four or five years I've come across one laptop that had
difficulty with Ubuntu (An Acer whose touchpad didn't work).

You can, right now, go out and buy a laptop on which you can install
any modern distro and have everything Just Work. This has been true for
about five years or so, longer with slightly more care as to which one
you buy.

What is it that you're missing from what's currently available, and
what are you expecting one of these manufacturers to do to fix it?
