For high end laptops =>32GB RAM with explicit linux support, there is<br>
the System76 Oryx and the Dell Precision 3510:<br>

I like the idea of supporting a small company like System76, rather than Dell, despite my previous response regarding dell xps-13.<br>
<br>
Many years ago, I bought a "gaming laptop" from a company in City of Industry called ProStar. <a href="http://www.pro-star.com/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.pro-star.com/</a><br>
<br>
I eventually turned it into a dedicated linux laptop running Debian. This was about 11yrs ago, so the hardest part was getting certain lmsensor drivers and wifi to work. Wifi was fairly simple to solve, since it required ipw2200 drivers, which were eventually natively supported in later kernels.<br>
<br>
Coming from Slackware to Debian, I was comfortable compiling and hunting down all the driver dependencies, more so than I would have the patience for these days, being a lazy ol' CentOS user now...<br>
