HP all Intel will give you the least problems with Linux in general. Wifi and ethernet support is good for Broadcom pci now, a little less for atheros. Intel sound and video has good support. Nvidia a little less. Stay away from Toshiba, Sony, and Samsung in general, if you don't know what to look for in the specs. If refurbished and you plan to dual boot, look for one preloaded with Windows 10 or 7. Avoid 8.1. Save you some possible bios issues confusion. A lot of Dell's are okay, but some older models have cpu/gpu issues with Linux. Most Hp's and Dell's with Intel mobo, cpu/gpu, and sound cards, and Broadcom pci ethernet and wifi as old as 2006, and as new as 2014/15 will work with Debian out of the box, thus with Linux Lite.
