If you don't buy the latest and greatest, all should work just fine.

Any Intel with embedded grafics will do. I have an Asus U45JC and
X53E, the former has nvidia optimus and the latter just the intel
grafics, and both has been working 100% flawlessly with F15/16/17 and
one of the stable 3.2/3.3/3.4 vanilla kernels. Optimus doesn't work, but I don't
need it, and it makes no trouble either.
