Brand new laptops are the worst thing to try and install any non-OEM OS on -- they will have tons of custom hardware which dislike the generic drivers and only Windows drivers available.
There's not likely to be a "better linux", the Linux community needs time to work out just what in the world they've done to the hardware this time and patch the generic drivers to know the "right thing" to do for your specific model. Often there's fixes you can do by hand once people know them, look for linux with your specific model.
