You can buy any laptop and install ubuntu or redhat linux as a dual boot OS.

If you have other needs with this laptop, keep those in mind. For example playing games, practicing other software etc

laptop hardware, being the strangest and most proprietary, is not always the best bet for installing linux on. Especially a brand new laptop, where distribution maintainers will have had no more time to adjust to the new hardware and find out all its idiosyncrasies than you have.
