Best Linux Laptop

I know I've seen lots of posts on this before, so I'm sorry for asking the same questions over and over.

Someone just asked me what the ideal laptop would be to purchase to install Debian Linux onto. The main thing is WiFi support and good quality. Don't need lots of storage or a super fast processor, but basic 3D support would be nice.

I've seen lots of posts on here about wireless cards not working, so thats what I'm the most concerned about.

I've heard of lots of people running Linux on IBM Thinkpads, but I can't seem to purchase one from Lenovo without Windows.

Do any of the major laptop manufactures sell laptops without OSes installed?

Thanks in advance!

(For those who care these laptops will be donated to a school in Venezuela through the company I work for.)
