I agree with this ... the Lenovo T and X series are known to work well
with both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7.

I have also had good luck with the Dell Inspiron and Dell Moblie
Workstation type laptops (m4*00 and m6*00 series) laptops.

Since CentOS is built from source code provided by Red Hat, one can go
here and search for laptop to get an idea of what should work with each
major version of CentOS:

https://hardware.redhat.com/

Note:  This is just a list of things that is likely to work as CentOS
contains no official certification of hardware and CentOS is not RHEL.
But if it runs RHEL, it likely also runs CentOS.
